in reply to Bugzilla's install-module.pl hangs

I type in the command, hit enter, and nothing happens.

Running the command under strace might give you a clue as to what it's doing or waiting for (unless the script is hanging in some endless loop that doesn't involve OS calls).

$ strace -f ./install-module.pl --all

    strace showed me that running install-module.pl with sudo was not working (for some reason.) So I did sudo -i and then ran it as "root" (I don't have access to the root account on this box). It ran fine like that. Weird, but oh well. :)
