Specify the directory within the CPAN shell with
o conf prefs_dir /path/to/distroprefs
and save with
o conf commit
The distroprefs files are YAML files (usually) and used not only for
exclusion of distribution, but also for all kind of setting
interactive and noninteractive options. My collection of distropref
files may be found in this CVS repository:
cvs -d :pserver:anonym...@srezic.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/srezic login
cvs -d :pserver:anonym...@srezic.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/srezic co
srezic-misc/cpan-prefs
Search for "disabled" for an example how to skip a distribution.

Does CPANPLUS have already adopted distroprefs? I don't think so. But
the CPANPLUS based smokers should have at least some kind of skip
file.
