 +/​etc/​perl/​CPAN/​Config.pm initialized.

 +CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
 +100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
 +Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
 +found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
 +want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.
 +
 +If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer '​no'​ to this
 +question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
 +dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)

 +CPAN build and cache directory? [/​home/​senthil/​.cpan] /​var/​spool/​cpan

 +commit: wrote /​etc/​perl/​CPAN/​Config.pm
 +edited file with:
 +  '​make_arg'​ => q[],
 +  '​make_install_arg'​ => q[],
 +</​code>​
 +
 +
 +Then went back to cpan using: "perl -MCPAN -e" and did "​install Bundle::​CPAN"​
 +
 +Reponse was long and painful!
 +
 +<​code>​
 +The following questions all require a list of host names, separated
 +with spaces. If you do not have a host available for any of the
 +services, then enter a single space, followed by <CR>. To accept the
 +default, hit <CR>
 +
 +Enter a list of available NNTP hosts : []
 +Enter a list of available SMTP hosts : []
 +Enter a list of available POP3 hosts : []
 +Enter a list of available SNPP hosts : []
 +Enter a list of available PH Hosts   : []
 +Enter a list of available TIME Hosts   : []
 +Enter a list of available DAYTIME Hosts   : []
 +
 +Do you have a firewall/​ftp proxy  between your machine and the internet
 +
 +If you use a SOCKS firewall answer no
 +
 +(y|n) ? [no]
 +
 +Should all FTP connections be passive (y|n) ? [no] y
 +
 +What is your local internet domain name : [] chennai.cc
 +
 +If you specified some default hosts above, it is possible for me to
 +do some basic tests when you run `make test'
 +
 +This will cause `make test' to be quite a bit slower and, if your
 +internet connection is via dialup, will require you to be on-line
 +unless the hosts are local.
 +
 +Do you want me to run these tests (y|n) ? [yes] n

 +
 +Next did "perl -MCPAN -e shell" again and got
 +
 +<​code>​
 +Sorry, we have to rerun the configuration dialog for CPAN.pm due to
 +some missing parameters...
 +
 +Normally CPAN.pm keeps config variables in memory and changes need to
 +be saved in a separate 'o conf commit'​ command to make them permanent
 +between sessions. If you set the '​auto_commit'​ option to true, changes
 +to a config variable are always automatically committed to disk.
 +
 + <​auto_commit>​
 +Always commit changes to config variables to disk? [no] yes
 +
 +A Build.PL is run by perl in a separate process. Likewise we run
 +'​./​Build'​ and '​./​Build install'​ in separate processes. If you have any
 +parameters you want to pass to the calls, please specify them here.
 +
 +Typical frequently used settings:
 +
 +    --install_base /​home/​xxx ​            # different installation directory
 +
 + <​mbuildpl_arg>​
 +Parameters for the 'perl Build.PL'​ command? [] --install_base /​usr/​lib/​perl/​install_base
 +
 +Parameters for the '​./​Build'​ command? Setting might be:
 +
 +    --extra_linker_flags -L/​usr/​foo/​lib ​ # non-standard library location
 +
 + <​mbuild_arg>​
 +Your choice: []
 +
 +Do you want to use a different command for '​./​Build install'?​ Sudo
 +users will probably prefer:
 +
 +    su root -c ./Build
 + or
 +    sudo ./Build
 + or
 +    /​path1/​to/​sudo -u admin_account ./Build
 +
 + <​mbuild_install_build_command>​
 +or some such. Your choice: [./Build]
 +
 +Parameters for the '​./​Build install'​ command? Typical frequently used
 +setting:
 +
 +    --uninst 1                           # uninstall conflicting files
 +
 + <​mbuild_install_arg>​
 +Your choice: []
 +
 +
 +
 +Unknown config variable '​cpan_version_check'​
 +commit: wrote '/​etc/​perl/​CPAN/​Config.pm'​
 +
 +cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9402)
 +Enter '​h'​ for help.
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Then finally did "​install Module::​Install"​ inside CPAN and that completed
