I don't know what to do about this. The module uses a now removed function. And it says in the module description

"STATUS ^

This module is no longer being maintained.

Use the IO​::Prompter module instead."

So the module itself is obsolete, and has a bunch of tickets in its queue. It seems to me that maybe cpan smoking should skip this module

- first of all I'm sorry, I didn't know about the half-deprecation; I
  have now removed the module from my smoker, but this is not a
  guarantee that it won't reappear as a depencency;

- 31 reverse dependencies indicate that this is very likely​:
  https://metacpan.org/requires/distribution/IO-Prompt?p=1&size=500&sort=[[2%2C1]]

- what is the best way to spread the word about the deprecation? Up to
  the v5.25.6-260-ga65dc09 there was no pressure, now there is;

IO-Prompt-0.997004 has now been released, which passes under blead.

Related​: POSIX​::isdigit was also removed, and causes FAXMODEM/Test-
Collectd-Plugins-0.1008.tar.gz to fail.

https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=118947

Collectd-Plugins-0.1009 has been released, which I can't test due to
dependencies (one requires an executable called 'yapp' which I don't have
installed), but the author's changelog implies that the new release fixes
this issue.

So I'll close this ticket.
