in reply to Can't install Bot::BasicBot module
You are running Windows, and it is the POE test that stalls.
I'm not sure if that test can ever pass on Windows as Windows does not tell programs whether writing to a filehandle would block.
If you don't care that much about POE but want Bot::BasicBot, you can install POE without running the tests:
cpan -T POE cpan Bot::BasicBot
