Dear Florian Ragwitz,

    Hi.  This is imacat from Taiwan.  I have made more tests.  It seems
that this keep-running daemon is this "SSL test server on port 1212" in
test.pl line 98, and is the cause that CPANPLUS hangs waiting for.  Once
I kill it CPANPLUS returns.

    Further investigation reveals that: "kill $pid" is not working at
test.pl line 134.  According to the perlfunc(1) documentation

http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/kill.html

    It show that "kill 15, $pid" should be used instead of "kill $pid".
 You omitted the kill signal and Perl treats $pid as the signal with an
empty process ID list.  I have make some tests.  After changing "kill
$pid" to "kill 15, $pid" that daemon is killed, and CPANPLUS returns as
usual when tests finish.

    There seem to be still another daemon running, with a PID next to
that one.  I don't quite understand yet.

    I attached a simple patch that may solve this issue, in the hope
that it helps.  Please tell me if I could be of any help, or if you need
any more information.  Thank you.
