Nah, that doesn't work. The system-wide settings are kept in the Perl
library directory, on my system in:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/CPAN/Config.pm
You'll have to remove (or rename) that file before CPAN will ask you
for configuration again. Alternatively, you can edit
~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm to override values in the system default, or
use the CPAN conf command to override values for one session.
