first off, I hate perl!!!!  But that is just me:)  I ran
'perl -MCPAN -e shell' as root and allowed cpan to auto
configure, now it cannot install a darn thing.  How do i
get the config prompts back so I can set them correctly?

Oh, this is a new install of NetBSD 1.6.1 and the pkgsrc
installed Perl 5.6.1, why such an old version?  Should I
upgrade to the latest?  If so, what is the best way to do
it?
