Checking whether your kit is complete...
Looks good
Checking prerequisites...

You have not configured a urllist and do not allow connections to the
internet to get a list of mirrors.  If you wish to get a list of CPAN
mirrors to pick from, use this command
    o conf init connect_to_internet_ok urllist
If you do not wish to get a list of mirrors and would prefer to set
your urllist manually, use just this command instead
    o conf init urllist
