how'd you install this manually?

A better option for this particular case would be to install by running: 
cpan -T IO::Tty

[download]
The -T switch ensures that the tests are not run.
Not sure if that was an option back in 2010.

To install manually:
1) Download http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/T/TO/TODDR/IO-Tty-1.12.tar.gz (or http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/T/TO/TODDR/IO-Tty-1.13_01.tar.gz if you want to install the development version).
2) Run tar zxvf IO-Tty-1.12.tar.gz
3) cd to the IO-Tty-1.12 folder
4) Run perl Makefile.PL
5) Run  make test
6) Run  make install

You can skip step 5 (not recommended) - which is what azredwing did, as that process was hanging.

Cheers,
Rob
