Do you want to enable code deserialisation (yes/no)?

=item yaml_module

At the time of this writing (2009-03) there are three YAML
implementations working: YAML, YAML::Syck, and YAML::XS. The latter
two are faster but need a C compiler installed on your system. There
may be more alternative YAML conforming modules. When I tried two
other players, YAML::Tiny and YAML::Perl, they seemed not powerful
enough to work with CPAN.pm. This may have changed in the meantime.

Which YAML implementation would you prefer?

auto_config => qq{
CPAN.pm requires configuration, but most of it can be done automatically.
If you answer 'no' below, you will enter an interactive dialog for each
configuration option instead.

Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically?},

auto_pick => qq{
Would you like me to automatically choose some CPAN mirror
sites for you? (This means connecting to the Internet)},

config_intro => qq{

The following questions are intended to help you with the
configuration. The CPAN module needs a directory of its own to cache
important index files and maybe keep a temporary mirror of CPAN files.
This may be a site-wide or a personal directory.

},

# cpan_home => qq{ },

cpan_home_where => qq{

First of all, I'd like to create this directory. Where?

},

external_progs => qq{

The CPAN module will need a few external programs to work properly.
Please correct me, if I guess the wrong path for a program. Don't
panic if you do not have some of them, just press ENTER for those. To
disable the use of a program, you can type a space followed by ENTER.

},

proxy_intro => qq{

If you're accessing the net via proxies, you can specify them in the
CPAN configuration or via environment variables. The variable in
the \$CPAN::Config takes precedence.

},

proxy_user => qq{

If your proxy is an authenticating proxy, you can store your username
permanently. If you do not want that, just press ENTER. You will then
be asked for your username in every future session.

},

proxy_pass => qq{

Your password for the authenticating proxy can also be stored
permanently on disk. If this violates your security policy, just press
ENTER. You will then be asked for the password in every future
session.

},

urls_intro => qq{
Now you need to choose your CPAN mirror sites.  You can let me
pick mirrors for you, you can select them from a list or you
can enter them by hand.
},

urls_picker_intro => qq{First, pick a nearby continent and country by typing in the number(s)
in front of the item(s) you want to select. You can pick several of
each, separated by spaces. Then, you will be presented with a list of
URLs of CPAN mirrors in the countries you selected, along with
previously selected URLs. Select some of those URLs, or just keep the
old list. Finally, you will be prompted for any extra URLs -- file:,
ftp:, or http: -- that host a CPAN mirror.

You should select more than one (just in case the first isn't available).

},

password_warn => qq{

Warning: Term::ReadKey seems not to be available, your password will
be echoed to the terminal!

},

install_help => qq{
Warning: You do not have write permission for Perl library directories.

To install modules, you need to configure a local Perl library directory or
escalate your privileges.  CPAN can help you by bootstrapping the local::lib
