disable input prompts in GO, Net-SSLeay and MIME-Lite extensions of Perl-bundle-CPAN

(created using eb --new-pr)

The installation of Perl-bundle-CPAN is currently broken on 5.0.x. The extension GO, Net-SSLeay and MIME-Lite ask for question during installation.

Example for Net-SSLeay:

eb-shell> export OPENSSL_PREFIX=$EBROOTOPENSSL &&  perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/user/brussel/101/vsc10122/easybuild/install/skylake/software/Perl-bundle-CPAN/5.38.2-GCCcore-13.3.0 --help

    Perl, and Net::SSLeay.

eb-shell> exit

Somehow this seems to have worked in EB 4.9, although I don't see any QA defined for these PerlModules. Anyhow, this PR fixes this issues without black magic, by just patching the Makefile.PL of those package to use fixed settings and not ask any questions.

@lexming I'm not seeing any hangs or input prompts being produced at all, so I think it's worth figuring out why you're hitting this while others are not...

[lexming]

Indeed, this is not the way forward. There are too many perl modules that actually use questions in their installs to be handled individually. Moreover, this should actually work with the existing easyconfigs, as it is the case in v4.9.

Closing to switch directions. Follow-up in #22094
