I am very grateful for this help. Impossible for me as a self- learner to find this information. The only means for configuration of CPAN I found in
cpan itself:

are there other resources?

It's not your fault - The CPAN docs *are* hard to get to. HFS+ thinks "CPAN" and "cpan" are the same thing, so there's a trick to it. If you look at "perldoc CPAN", what you actually get is the perldocs from the /usr/bin/cpan script. To get the docs for the CPAN.pm module, you need to use "perldoc CPAN.pm", including the .pm extension.

The module docs list the configuration options.
