No installation issues.
No previous update on this so, ventured into its command

$ cpan-2.29 
Sorry, we have to rerun the configuration dialog for CPAN.pm due to
some missing parameters. Configuration will be written to
 <</home/tester8/.local/share/.XCPANCONFIGNAMEX/CPAN/MyConfig.pm>>


CPAN.pm requires configuration, but most of it can be done automatically.
If you answer 'no' below, you will enter an interactive dialog for each
configuration option instead.

Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes] 

Perl site library directory "/usr/local/share/perl5/5.32" does not exist.
Perl site library directory "/usr/local/share/perl5/5.32" could not been created: .
Perl site library directory "/usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.32" does not exist.
Perl site library directory "/usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.32" could not been created: .
 <install_help>

Warning: You do not have write permission for Perl library directories.

To install modules, you need to configure a local Perl library directory or
escalate your privileges.  CPAN can help you by bootstrapping the local::lib
module or by configuring itself to use 'sudo' (if available).  You may also
resolve this problem manually if you need to customize your setup.

What approach do you want?  (Choose 'local::lib', 'sudo' or 'manual')
 [local::lib] 

We initialized your 'urllist' to https://cpan.org/. Type 'o conf init urllist' to change it.

Autoconfiguration complete.

local::lib is installed. You must now add the following environment variables
to your shell configuration files (or registry, if you are on Windows) and
then restart your command line shell and CPAN before installing modules:

PATH="/home/tester8/perl5/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}"; export PATH;
PERL5LIB="/home/tester8/perl5/lib/perl5${PERL5LIB:+:${PERL5LIB}}"; export PERL5LIB;
PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT="/home/tester8/perl5${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT:+:${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT}}"; export PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT;
PERL_MB_OPT="--install_base \"/home/tester8/perl5\""; export PERL_MB_OPT;
PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=/home/tester8/perl5"; export PERL_MM_OPT;

Would you like me to append that to /home/tester8/.bashrc now? [yes] no

You can re-run configuration any time with 'o conf init' in the CPAN shell
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

To fix that, maybe try>  install Term::ReadLine::Perl


cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v2.29)
Enter 'h' for help.
