Some CPAN setup that I often do on a new computer.

Suggested CPAN options

• o conf auto_commit 1
  o conf commit
  Automatically save preferences.
• o conf prerequisites_policy follow
  o conf build_requires_install_policy yes
  Allows you to install larger packages like Catalyst etc without manual intervention, so you can let it sit and do its thing.
• o conf make_install_arg UNINST=1
• (if all hope is lost) to choose a new mirror
  1. choose a random one from here
     eg:    http://mirror.sit.wisc.edu/pub/CPAN/
  2. o conf init urllist

Other CPAN setup

• install Bundle::CPAN
