Client not fully configured, please proceed with configuring.

You have not configured a urllist and do not allow connections to the
internet to get a list of mirrors.  If you wish to get a list of CPAN
mirrors to pick from, use this command

    o conf init connect_to_internet_ok urllist

If you do not wish to get a list of mirrors and would prefer to set
your urllist manually, use just this command instead

    o conf init urllist

My system does not seem to be very happy with "install Inline::C". I have already done the "conf init urllist" commands several times so I don't know what else to try.

Thanks,
