No. Command line option so you don't have to be there and press Enter.

Thanks, though I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing.
When installing modules it sometimes ask if you want additional modules as
well. At that point I need it not to ask that but just go ahead and do what
it thinks is best.

When you run the cpan set up command, it will ask you if you're "ready
for manual configuration". Say no. That will cause it to use the
default values.

You're right, we weren't. :-)

Start up your cpan shell, and type:
o conf prerequisites_policy follow
o conf commit
That will tell cpan to go ahead and just download whatever modules it
needs in order to install the module you're trying to install.
