Rerun CPAN Config on Linux?

Question

I accidentally interrupted CPAN while it was doing the initial configuration and now I cannot start it again.

I am receiving the error

Error while requiring CPAN::MyConfig: CPAN/MyConfig.pm did not return a true value at /usr/share/perl/5.14/CPAN/HandleConfig.pm line 507

Is there any way to rerun the config if I can't even open the cpan shell?

Answer 1

Remove the file CPAN/MyConfig.pm (or, better, move it somewhere; you might want to look at it).

Then try again.
