in thread cpan and install question

I guess my issue is a bit differnet and applies specifically to the Alien::wxWidgets module. From the cpan prompt I use 'install Alien::wxWidgets' and starts to do it's thing and then asks if I would like to build Wx 2.8.10. If I choose yes it prompts me with a pre-set configuration for Wx Widgets 2.8.10 and one of the settings is shared libraries. This is what I want to disable but I'm not sure how to via the cpan shell.

Any thoughts?

    Seems to me you shouldn't be using the cpan shell for this one.

    How do you disable it without using the shell?

      as part of the wxWidgets install you can pass "--disable-shared"
        to what? You said "Makefile" earlier, but that's not a program.
