in reply to simpler way to silence modules that ask install-time questions

Since I use Debian I build Debian packages from them (unless they already exist, of course) with dh-make-perl. The resulting packages can be installed painlessly without any interactions. Similar systems exist for other distributions as well.

That said some modules also can be silenced with environment variables that you have to set before you install them.
