~/.cpan isn't a file, it's a directory. If you are looking
for a workable CPAN/Config file:



# This is CPAN.pm's systemwide configuration file. This file provides
# defaults for users, and the values can be changed in a per-user
# configuration file. The user-config file is being looked for as
# ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm.

$CPAN::Config = {
  'build_cache' => q[128],
  'build_dir' => q[/scratch/CPAN/build],
  'cache_metadata' => q[1],
  'cpan_home' => q[/scratch/CPAN],
  'ftp' => q[/usr/bin/ftp],
  'ftp_proxy' => q[],
  'getcwd' => q[cwd],
