Have you taken a look at ReadKey since that is what seems to be failing? Maybe you can try that code out, or see what it is trying to do. What is ReadKey doing with resize? I have not looked at ReadKey, so I cant help there.

If all else fails, you can use brute force and skip the tests. This is not recommended, but I do it when I dont want to deal with resolving the details and the tests that I am worried about pass. So for your install it looks like you would not be able to use parts of the DBI::Shell module until you resolve the ReadKey issue, but everything else should work. To force the intall I think you can do: cpan>force install DBI but I am not sure that cpan will skip the tests. I usually just go to my .cpan/build/DBI-??? directory and type "make install"
