Hi Mongers
I'm don't recall if there's been an announcement here that Catalyst is
now hosting a local CPAN mirror, but since this follows on from a
question raised during Srdjan's CPAN talk, I thought I'd mention it
here ...
The URL of the mirror is: http://cpan.catalyst.net.nz/CPAN/
It is publicly accessible, but it hasn't yet been added to the official
mirrors file.
To configure the standard CPAN shell to use this mirror, use these three
simple steps:
1. Start the shell using either this command:
cpan
or if that doesn't work, this one:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
2. Use this command to select the mirror for the current session
o conf urllist = http://cpan.catalyst.net.nz/CPAN/
3. Use this command to save the changes
o conf commit
(Note: those last two commands each start with a lower case letter 'o'
followed by a space - intuitive huh?)
Cheers
Grant
