user@austria:~$ sudo cpan
Sorry, we have to rerun the configuration dialog for CPAN.pm due to some missing parameters. Configuration will be written to
 <</home/lampuser/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm>>

CPAN.pm requires configuration, but most of it can be done automatically.
If you answer 'no' below, you will enter an interactive dialog for each
configuration option instead.

Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes] 

Autoconfigured everything but 'urllist'.

Now you need to choose your CPAN mirror sites.  You can let me pick mirrors for you, you can select them from a list or you can enter them by hand.

Would you like me to automatically choose some CPAN mirror sites for you? (This means connecting to the Internet) [yes] 
Looking for CPAN mirrors near you (please be patient)
Can't call method "http" on unblessed reference at /usr/share/perl/5.18/CPAN/FirstTime.pm line 1868.
