Is it visible when you try to run CPAN?  If you're logged on as MGR.PERL, it
might not be.  I seem to recall at one time having to change permissions on
the /dev directory.

So, do an
  ls -ld /dev
and
  ls -l /dev/tty

To see whether perl thinks the file exists (using the test from
Readline.pm), type:
  perl -le 'print -e "/dev/tty" '
which will print "1" if it exists or a blank line if it doesn't.
