In a new cpan session run the command: "o conf init" ( no quotes)
this will walk you through the configuration.

However, if you are on debian you should be using apt-get / apt-cache
search to find and install the perl libraries
For example:
apt-get update;apt-cache search perl|grep dns

gives me:

-- libnet-dns-perl - Perform DNS queries from a Perl script
