installing modules from CPAN during terminalless build is nothing good. it will never receive input and thus block our builders:

+ cd /home/users/builder/rpm/BUILD
+ cd Nagios-Plugins-Memcached-0.02

We have to reconfigure CPAN.pm due to following uninitialized parameters:

cpan_home, keep_source_where, build_dir, build_cache, scan_cache, index_expire, gzip, tar, unzip, make, pager, makepl_arg, make_arg, make_install_arg, urllist, inhibit_startup_message,
 ftp_proxy, http_proxy, no_proxy, prerequisites_policy, cache_metadata

/home/users/builder/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm initialized.
