cpan problem

[Jude DaShiell]

I'm having a huge problem with the cpan program.  This problem happens 
when I search for stuff to install.  Whoever made the cpan program 
apparently didn't like the less or more programs and what they can do 
because a search with more results than the screen can hold just scrolls 
off the screen.  Would using the script command with cpan and then doing 
my search and exiting and saving then later filtering the typescript file 
made by the script program work or might there be a better solution?
