Hi,
The PDL Makefile.PL contains the following annoying stuff: 
  # Check for pre-existing PDL module in @INC
  eval { require PDL::Lite; PDL::Lite->import(); };
  unless($@)
  {
     # uh-oh! we have a pre-existing PDL in path
     warn( "\n  ****** WARNING ******\n"
        . "  PDL version $PDL::Version::VERSION was detected in your \
+@INC\n"
        . "  PDL may not build/test correctly with another PDL in \@IN
+C!\n" );

     my $go_on = prompt("\nDo you still wish to continue?", 'y');
     die "OK, stopping build\n" unless $go_on =~ /^[yY]/;
  }

For me, there's always a "pre-existing PDL" to be found.
How do I configure CPAN.pm to accept the /^[yY]/ prompt ?

Can "acceptance of prompts" be configured for certain modules only ? Or is it a "come one, come all" situation ?

Pointers to the relevant documentation (which, I'm sure, exists) gratefully accepted :-)

Cheers,
Rob
