"This sends any selected text to the CPAN client"

It doesn't, you should be more specific. It uses cpanm rather than cpan. The latter ships with perl, the former does not.

    Yes. It. Does. How hard is it to configure this software?

    set CPAN to "cpanm"

    If you don't like noisy cpanm set CPAN to "cpanm -q".
    If you don't like cpanm set CPAN to "cpan".
    If you don't like my software, create your own! ☺

      It doesn't. You've set the default value to something that doesn't exist by default, referred to cpanm as cpan.
