The following questions are intended to help you with the configuration. The CPAN module needs a directory of its own to cache important index files and maybe keep a temporary mirror of CPAN files.  This may be a site-wide or a personal directory.


I see you already have a directory

~/.cpan
Shall we use it as the general CPAN build and cache directory?

 <cpan_home>
CPAN build and cache directory? [~/.cpan]
