If you know the right mirror, "o conf cpan; o commit" within the CPAN shell.  
(Check the syntax.)

If you don't know the right mirror and want configuration fun:

	$ perl -MCPAN::FirstTime -e 'CPAN::FirstTime::init()'

Silly trivia: one of my most satisfying patches to Perl was because Jarkko, 
the pumpking at the time, wanted a better pager to select CPAN mirrors, so I 
patched CPAN::Something_Or_Other to have better paging.

(Another one was patching the documentation for ref() to say "This is broken 
in these ways....)
