in thread CPAN::Shell not loading CPAN config

Hm, cant find any verboose option with -h, but i've tried with the -W options to enable all warnings, nothing file related 

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

[download]

If its a different command, please enlighten me.

Since script is runned as root and the config files are owned by root i doubt this is the problem though

    Your language isn't very clear. If I understand the question correctly, then I would try this: 
    perl -MCPAN::FirstTime -e 'CPAN::FirstTime::init();'

    [download]
    And from a script: 
    #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CPAN;
use CPAN::FirstTime;

CPAN::FirstTime::init();
CPAN::Shell->install(
"Bundle::CPAN",
"Bundle::LWP");
