in reply to cpan error messages

I will get a very long series of messages that scroll past my screen faster than I can read

I have a couple of ways of dealing with this. One is to set gnome-terminal to keep a larger number of lines of scrollback. Another is to run CPAN within screen. The latter works even on the console, e.g., when I'm installing a new system and haven't got the GUI up yet.
