Configuration
When the CPAN module is installed, a site-wide configuration
file is created: CPAN/Config.pm. The default
values defined there can be overridden locally in the file
CPAN/MyConfig.pm. You can store this file in
$HOME/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm, because
$HOME/.cpan is added to the search path of the
CPAN module before the use
or
require
statements. Chapter 2 lists the keys defined in
the hash reference $CPAN::Config
and how to set and query them.
