Hi folks, I have a lot of boxes which are behind firewalls. Fortunately, I have a local CPAN mirror that I install modules from. The problem is that often when I run the CPAN shell (# perl -MCPAN -eshell) I am asked the question: "Are you ready for manual configuration?". After I answer "yes" at some point it tries to grab the MIRRORED.BY file from ftp.perl.org. This process takes quite a while since it tries many things to reach the outside world. Finally it quits and I can tell it where my CPAN mirror is.
Is there any way to configure the urllist with my mirror before doing the manual config? I read perldoc CPAN but didn't see any way to do this. Thanks. richf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
