=head1 NAME

CPAN::FirstTime - Utility for CPAN::Config file Initialization

=head1 SYNOPSIS

CPAN::FirstTime::init()

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The init routine asks a few questions and writes a CPAN::Config
file. Nothing special.

    my($configpm, %args) = @_;

    use Config;

    unless ($CPAN::VERSION) {

CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.

If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this
question and I\'ll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)

The following questions are intended to help you with the

important index files and maybe keep a temporary mirror of CPAN files.
This may be a site-wide directory or a personal directory.

I see you already have a  directory
    $cpan_home
Shall we use it as the general CPAN build and cache directory?

First of all, I\'d like to create this directory. Where?

    $CPAN::Frontend->myprint( qq{

If you like, I can cache the source files after I build them.  Doing
so means that, if you ever rebuild that module in the future, the
files will be taken from the cache. The tradeoff is that it takes up
space.  How much space would you like to allocate to this cache?  (If
you don\'t want me to keep a cache, answer 0.)

performed to keep the cache size in sync. To prevent this, answer
'never'.

To considerably speed up the initial CPAN shell startup, it is
possible to use Storable to create a cache of metadata. If Storable
is not available, the normal index mechanism will be used.

The next option deals with the charset (aka character set) your
terminal supports. In general, CPAN is English speaking territory, so
the charset does not matter much, but some of the aliens out there who
upload their software to CPAN bear names that are outside the ASCII
range. If your terminal supports UTF-8, you should say no to the next
question.  If it supports ISO-8859-1 (also known as LATIN1) then you
should say yes.  If it supports neither, your answer does not matter
because you will not be able to read the names of some authors
anyway. If you answer no, names will be output in UTF-8.
