That usually only happens if the CPAN module cannot connect to outside
servers. Are you connected to the internet, are proxy-settings correct
or do you notice any error messages before you get asked for a server
name?
CPAN's normal behaviour is to offer a by-continent, then by-country list
of servers to chose from and only inputs a name if it cannot fetch the
mirror list.
