I have found that there is documentation indicating the automation of
modules:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::myBundle'
where myBundle is basically a pod file with =head1 CONTENTS and then a
list of the modules to install.
I have seen some documentation using the interactive CPAN shell that
indicates that using o conf <scalar option> <value> allows the setting
of these particular values. I have not found documentation on scripting
out the parameters to the Config.pm file. I was considering echoing the
values out to the file, but I would prefer to send perl commands so as
not to mess up the format or syntax, i.e. perl [some switch(s)] [some
arguments].
thanks,
Michael
p.s. Sorry about the perl

Does it work? Have you tried? What was the result?
Depending on the user running the automation non root that is, you may
need a ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm.
perldoc CPAN for more on automation of install of modules.
