Nothing. The first time you run CPAN, it asks you for a few settings -
usually you can just accept the defaults.

Note however, that many CPAN modules are already built and available for
use via yum. Uasing yum is the preferred way, since updates are
automatically picked up.

eg

    # yum install 'perl(XML::Parser)'
