I didn't wait long enough. After 5 more minutes (I guess 10 total), this
message appeared:

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]
I checked, this user did have some sudo rights. This message is from
configuration of CPAN.pm of system perl, not perl of current user
(installed with perlbrew).
