The cpan(1) client is rather low-level. It's a real pain to use. I highly recommend you use a more advanced tool that requires a lot less configuration and user interaction. Personally I use cpanm(1) (App::cpanminus). It handles fetching, building, and testing all dependencies without any prompts and hides all of the ugly output from you by default. If the build fails, you will still need to sort through the build output, which will be logged to a file, but if everything works fine then it saves you a lot of trouble. If you're using the system perl then you can probably install cpanm using your distribution package software. I use perlbrew to install both up-to-date perl and cpanm.
