(and how can I "force" the > install?) at your shell, type: perl -MCPAN -e shell and at the cpan prompt, type: o conf init which will run the configuration program. Alternatively type 'o conf' on the cpan shell, which will dump the cpan configuration file to you. Note the parameter you want to change, and type: o conf parameter "value" o conf commit The latter statement will save the changes. The actual configuration file is somewhere in ~home/.cpan/* but dont remember exactly where. This is all off the top of my head, but "o conf init" will definitely run the configuration program for you.
