G'day Daniel, 
This page:
http://somethingdoug.com/thoughts/2008/12/31/our-authority/

Contains a link to this manual page:

which looks like it *might* answer your question.
 

Leigh.

G'day.

Despite my best efforts I can't track down what the heck the $AUTHORITY variable is used for.  Context obviously suggests CPAN, but none of my hunting in the documentation tells me what it is about.

So, can someone take pity on me and point me at the appropriate manual?

Regards,
        Daniel
