Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your advice. Because I'm not quite sure the dialogs, I just
selected default.
Re-run
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
Sorry, we have to rerun the configuration dialog for CPAN.pm due to
some missing parameters...
Normally CPAN.pm keeps config variables in memory and changes need to
be saved in a separate 'o conf commit' command to make them permanent
between sessions. If you set the 'auto_commit' option to true, changes
to a config variable are always automatically committed to disk.
<auto_commit>
Always commit changes to config variables to disk? [no] yes
A Build.PL is run by perl in a separate process. Likewise we run
'./Build' and './Build install' in separate processes. If you have any
parameters you want to pass to the calls, please specify them here.
Typical frequently used settings:
--install_base /home/xxx # different installation
directory
<mbuildpl_arg>
Parameters for the 'perl Build.PL' command? [] [Enter]
Parameters for the './Build' command? Setting might be:
--extra_linker_flags -L/usr/foo/lib # non-standard library
location
<mbuild_arg>
Your choice: [] [Enter]
Do you want to use a different command for './Build install'? Sudo
users will probably prefer:
su root -c ./Build
or
sudo ./Build
or
/path1/to/sudo -u admin_account ./Build
<mbuild_install_build_command>
or some such. Your choice: [./Build] [Enter]
Parameters for the './Build install' command? Typical frequently used
setting:
--uninst 1 # uninstall conflicting files
<mbuild_install_arg>
Your choice: [] [Enter]
( whether I need to type "--uninst 1" here ??? )
Please remember to call 'o conf commit' to make the config permanent!
( Disregard selecting "Yes" on <auto_commit> above, here it still
prompts "Please remember to call 'o conf commit' to make the config
permanent!" ? Where shall I run 'o conf commit' on console or inside
cpan? and how? )

On next starting cpan it didn't complain again
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:

How to remove [1] making it prompted "cpan >" ? TIA
