When I run "cpan" after purging my configuration, the new
configuration is written under the .local/share/.cpan directory,
instead of .cpan as documented in the CPAN(3perl) man page.

It looks like this happens if both libfile-homedir-perl and xdg-user-dirs
are installed, in which case CPAN.pm uses File::HomeDir to look
up the directory, and File::HomeDir assumes you want to follow the
FreeDesktop.org specification.

Assuming this behaviour is deliberate, the CPAN.pm documentation
should probably refer to File::HomeDir or something like that.
