Re^2: They've fscked with CPAN.pm again

I asked "how to disable colorisation", not "how to make it work", or "who enabled it by default"

In this particular instance, I think the solution lies (in part, at least) in altering sub _warn in lib/ActivePerl/Config.pm.

At the beginning of that sub we have:

    unless (-t STDOUT) {
    print "\n$msg\n";
    return;
    }
[download]

Changing the (-t STDOUT) to (0) takes care of things nicely for me. (There's no doubt a less hamfisted approach that would also work.)

Cheers,
Rob
