Probably the bulk builds running without a tty on STDIN.
prompt() of EU::MM and M::B prove whether STDIN is a tty (and open fh),
and read from there when it is - otherwise they enable PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT.

I don't know, but I'll take a look. If bulk builds already define BATCH, pkg_rr
should follow that.
