+Subject: Patch around annoying CPAN-initialization test
+
+This is a terrible way of doing this, but its good enough for now
+and convinces CPAN that its already configured and doesn't block
+waiting for input. A more sensible narrow set is probably viable,
+and OS specifics probably need to be considered.
+
+Bug: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96782
