=head1 CONFIGURATION
-When the CPAN module is installed, a site wide configuration file is
-created as CPAN/Config.pm. The default values defined there can be
-overridden in another configuration file: CPAN/MyConfig.pm. You can
-store this file in $HOME/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm if you want, because
-$HOME/.cpan is added to the search path of the CPAN module before the
-use() or require() statements.
+When the CPAN module is used for the first time, a configuration
+dialog tries to determine a couple of site specific options. The
+result of the dialog is stored in a hash reference C< $CPAN::Config >
+in a file CPAN/Config.pm.
+
+The default values defined in the CPAN/Config.pm file can be
+overridden in a user specific file: CPAN/MyConfig.pm. Such a file is
+best placed in $HOME/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm, because $HOME/.cpan is
+added to the search path of the CPAN module before the use() or
+require() statements.
+
+The configuration dialog can be started any time later again by
+issueing the command C< o conf init > in the CPAN shell.
Currently the following keys in the hash reference $CPAN::Config are
defined:
dontload_hash anonymous hash: modules in the keys will not be
loaded by the CPAN::has_inst() routine
gzip location of external program gzip
+ histfile file to maintain history between sessions
+ histsize maximum number of lines to keep in histfile
inactivity_timeout breaks interactive Makefile.PLs after this
many seconds inactivity. Set to 0 to never break.

('follow' automatically, 'ask' me, or 'ignore')

scan_cache controls scanning of cache ('atstart' or 'never')
