thanks for your help,
your 'o conf init' parameter is working but how to specify
the following parameter:
Your choice: [ ]
Parameters for the 'make' command?
Typical frequently used setting:
-j3 dual processor system
Your choice: [-j 3]
If I leave the field blank the '-j3' parameter is the default ...
My machine is bi-processor under Solaris 9.
I tried to edit by hand the file:
/usr/perl5/5.6.1/lib/CPAN/Config.pm
But unsuccessful.
An idea ?
Thanks again
Jean Berthold

You can reconfigure CPAN completely by using 'o conf init' at the cpan
prompt. Or you can configure a single option with o conf followed by the
option and the values you want to set. Then use 'o conf commit' to save
the changes permenantly. Entering just 'o conf' will show the current
settings. For more help,
