As follows: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- # perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::shell' There seems to be running another CPAN process (pid 7816). Contacting... Other job not responding. Shall I overwrite the lockfile '/root/.cpan/.lock'? (Y/n) [y] y cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v2.20) Enter 'h' for help. *** buffer overflow detected ***: perl terminated Aborted (core dumped) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Installing modules from the command line seems to work, though. Some collision via readline maybe? I get this from an strace: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ioctl(-1, TIOCGWINSZ, 0x7ffd2c180250) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) ioctl(-1, TCGETS, 0x7ffd2c180220) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So somehow it doesn't really like the terminal (konsole), although setting the TERM=dumb doesn't seem to help.
