When i run the above:

What's better to configure it manually or automatically?

I tried it once manually and then i had problems with "PREFIX" and stuff, how do i change PREFFIX and what else i should be aware of when configuring MCPAN?

Thanks
Kind regards, Anton

i'm talking about this question:

Every Makefile.PL is run by perl in a separate process. Likewise we
run 'make' and 'make install' in processes. If you have any
parameters (e.g. PREFIX, LIB, UNINST or the like) you want to pass
to the calls, please specify them here.

If you don't understand this question, just press ENTER.

Parameters for the 'perl Makefile.PL' command?
Typical frequently used settings:

   POLLUTE=1        increasing backwards compatibility
   LIB=~/perl       non-root users (please see manual for more hints)

Your choice:  []
Kind regards, Anton

Just hit enter.  You're presumably the root user, and you want to install modules into the system library directory.  So you don't need to set any special parameters.
