Many, many modules :(
You know how Module::Install packages will prompt you "Do you want to 
install these mandatory dependencies? [y]"? It's that.
I'm like, why yes, yes I do, but why for the love of god isn't there an 
"a" option, meaning "yes, and do this for [A]ll in the future." :(

They're mandatory requirements, so it seems barely worth asking me, it's 
not like it's going to work otherwise..

And because I don't want to be there to make a selection, I'd rather 
like the optional requirements to get "Y" as well, but would be happy to 
have them auto-no-ed too, rather than it pausing altogether..

try "cpanp i Task::Kensho" and let me know how you go? :)
