Um, why?

Oh I see, Installing wxPerl 0.9923 with wxWidgets 3.0.1 on Unbuntu 14.04LTS 64bit

cpan will prompt, it usually doesn't prompt on STDERR (i think)

So, tell cpan and family not to prompt you

apt-get probably also has options not to prompt

Or better still, update wxPerl-Installer.sh so it duplicates/tees STDOUT/STDERR to a logfile so the user doesn't have to type extra stuff

My copy/paste from Re: One liner to config cpan to install all dependencies automatically along with temp modules?
