Subject: UU/myread, generated by Configure, doesn't seem to work

This is a bug report for perl from artagnon@gmail.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.17.10.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm using the latest Perl from Git (git://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git).
When I run configure, this is what happens:

    $ ./configure.gnu
    sh Configure -ds -e
    First let's make sure your kit is complete.  Checking...
    *** WHOA THERE!!! ***
    
        This is an UNSTABLE DEVELOPMENT release.
        The version of this perl5 distribution is 17, that is, odd,
        (as opposed to even) and that signifies a development release.
        If you want a maintenance release, you want an even-numbered version.
    
        Do ***NOT*** install this into production use.
        Data corruption and crashes are possible.
    
        It is most seriously suggested that you do not continue any further
        unless you want to help in developing and debugging Perl.
    
        If you *still* want to build perl, you can answer 'y' now,
        or pass -Dusedevel to Configure.
    
    Do you really want to continue? [n]  
    Okay, bye.

Basically, it doesn't give me a chance to enter anything in the
prompt.  I used -Dusedevel to sidestep this issue, but I don't get any
further prompts.  I've determined that the UU/myread, which is
generated by Configure, doesn't read a line.  Unfortunately, the
script seems to be unnecessarily complex and messy; so much so that I
didn't attempt to patch it, and decided to send this bug report
instead.

Please fix this issue.  Bonus points for making UU/myread more
readable.

Thanks!
