Hi,

I am trying to make a class that installs CPAN modules with the CPAN::Shell package. But if i run a command like: 

perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::Shell->o("conf")'

[download]

It seems like the CPAN::Shell package are not honuring the configuration file. Output is as following: 

$CPAN::Config options from :
    commit             [Commit changes to disk]
    defaults           [Reload defaults from disk]
    help               [Short help about 'o conf' usage]
    init               [Interactive setting of all options]

    applypatch         undef
    auto_commit        undef
    build_cache        undef
    build_dir          undef
    build_dir_reuse    undef
    build_requires_install_policy undef
    bzip2              undef
    cache_metadata     undef
    check_sigs         undef
    colorize_debug     undef
    colorize_output    undef
(...)

Its runned as root, and both Config.pm and MyConfig.pm is located under /root/.cpan/CPAN

Have anyone had this problem before, any suggestions on how to solve this?

Best regards
