Hi. You have CPAN installed, and it is working with ReadLine enabled. What's happening is normal first-time configuration. As rinceWind mentioned, just accept the defaults by hitting "enter". At the next prompt, type in "o conf". This will show you your current configuration. If it's ok, type in "o conf commit". That will save the config to Config.pm.

As for failing tests, you probably have some unsatisfied dependencies. For example, to get the modules to pass the tests, there are some modules that you really need: Test::Pod, Test::Pod::Coverage, GnuPG, and Test::Signature. At a minimum, you need Test::Pod, Test::Pod::Coverage. You might have to download the tarballs and install them manually.

Update: I was thinking in terms of batch mode---the CPAN shell itself. Just type in "cpan" at the prompt. When the shell prompt comes up enter "?" for help...
