Hi there,
I am getting this error while trying to configure
MCPAN, the error is as follow :
Trying with "/usr/sfw/bin/ncftpget" to get
ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY
ftp.perl.org: unknown host.
ncftpget: cannot open ftp.perl.org: unknown host.

Bad luck... Still failed!
Can't access URL
ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY.
Please check, if the URLs I found in your
configuration file () are valid.
The urllist can be edited. E.g. with 'o conf urllist
push ftp://myurl/'
Could not fetch MIRRORED.BY
CPAN.pm needs at least one URL where it can fetch CPAN
files from.
Please enter your CPAN site: []
