Howdy,
Is there a way to reset the list of mirrors used by the CPAN shell?
I consistently get this behavior every time I try to install a perl
module (this is on a new machine.) Is it as simple as just choosing
a different set of mirrors?
Here's what I get currently:
cpan> install DateTime

...etc, etc...
===========================
Also, is this being caused by the CPAN shell, or could it be my
firewall? I figured because I was seeing the "LWP failed with code
[404]" that the servers were actually returning a true 404, but could
this just be default behavior from Net::FTP when it has waited too
long for a response?
Thanks,
Ryan
