The following components were used:
CPAN 0.70 Term::ReadLine::Perl 1.0203
In the following tests start the CPAN shell and then press Ctrl-C\, followed by Ctrl-D
== 5.8.0:
% perl-5.8.0 -MCPAN -eshell cpan> Caught SIGINT cpan> Use of uninitialized value in ord at /home/stas/perl/5.8.0/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/Term/ReadLine/readline.pm line 1481. cpan>
prints one warning and returns the prompt
== blead perl (and 5.8.1-tobe):
% perl-blead -MCPAN -eshell cpan> Caught SIGINT cpan> Use of uninitialized value in ord at /home/stas/perl/5.8.0/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/Term/ReadLine/readline.pm line 1481. [...] results in endless loop consisting of the last line
same problem for 5.8.1-tobe
Certainly\, the warning is probably a problem in CPAN.pm\, but the endless loop appearing only the blead/maint versions doesn't sound good.

I was able to replicate this in the current blead/5.8.6-tobe after installing Term::ReadLine::Perl. However\, after replacing Term::ReadLine::Perl with Term::ReadLine::Gnu\, it worked just fine. I'm thinking Term::ReadLine::Perl is more the culprit than CPAN.

So may be redirect that report to Term::ReadLine::Perl module then?
