Hi,
Is there an easy way to wipe cpan off my computer? I would like to try a
fresh install to see if that cures all the problems I've had with cpan. So
far I can't install any modules with cpan. The latest errors are:
----------------
$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
Password:
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9402)
Enter 'h' for help.
cpan[1]> install FileUtils::More
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20)

Client not fully configured, please proceed with configuring.
You have not configured a urllist and do not allow connections to the
internet to get a list of mirrors. If you wish to get a list of CPAN
mirrors to pick from, use this command
o conf init connect_to_internet_ok urllist
If you do not wish to get a list of mirrors and would prefer to set
your urllist manually, use just this command instead
o conf init urllist

----------------------------------------
And I have configured a url list! And I have no idea how I'm not allowing
connections to the internet!
