This is not the problem due to the package, but the CPAN installation being not set up on a specific workstation/user yet. That option will not help with this, because you must set up the configuration on first use.
Please refer to this section:
CPAN - perldoc.perl.org
One possible thought is to manually copy an existing CPAN configuration file and make sure it is installed in the user environment before you execute other CPAN commands. Try it and tell us if it works.

test::cpan::changes
Test::CPAN::Changes(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::CPAN::Changes(3)
NAME
Test::CPAN::Changes - Validation of the Changes file in a CPAN distribution
SYNOPSIS
use Test::More;
eval 'use Test::CPAN::Changes';
plan skip_all => 'Test::CPAN::Changes required for this test' if $@;
changes_ok();
DESCRIPTION
This module allows CPAN authors to write automated tests to ensure their changelogs match the specification.
METHODS
changes_ok( )
Simple wrapper around "changes_file_ok". Declares a four test plan, and uses the default filename of "Changes".
changes_file_ok( $filename, \%arg )
Checks the contents of the changes file against the specification. No plan is declared and if the filename is undefined, "Changes" is used.
%arg may include a version entry, in which case the entry for that version must exist and have content. This is useful to ensure that the
version currently being released has documented changes.
