That's probably right. prompt() has always, AFAIK, used the empty string 
'' as a default when unattended. I think this is the behavior of 
MakeMaker also. The tests there were just to codify the existing 
behavior. However, I believe that your correct in that if it is running 
unattended and there is no default it should throw an error.
