If you can enter the cpan shell (by running "cpan" or "perl -MCPAN -e shell"), the "o conf" command generated output will tell you the locations from which configuration is read.

This is mine on a certain Linux system I have:

Code:
admin@np64gw:~$ cpan

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7601)
ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN')

cpan> o conf
CPAN::Config options from /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/CPAN/Config.pm and /test/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm:
    commit             Commit changes to disk
    defaults           Reload defaults from disk
    init               Interactive setting of all options

    build_cache        10
    build_dir          /test/.cpan/build
    cache_metadata     1
    cpan_home          /test/.cpan
