I'd say the CPAN config process asced you for a path where you wanted to
store files while building stuff, and you answered 'yes'. That's not a
path it can find, so everything screws up from there.
locate CPAN/Config.pm
That file contains the preferences you set up. You could edit it, or you
could just back it up somewhere and delete it, in which case
`perl -MCPAN -e shell` should ask you to provide the configuration details
again.
