Last month I was testing the latest version of CPAN module B::C. The
testing process caused major damage to my machine. One of my FreeBSD
VMs was rendered inaccessible. All of the .xxx configuration files in
my home directory disappeared. I spent most of the next several days
reinstalling the VM, restoring my .xxx files and backing them up in an
off-site repository.
I thought I was completely recovered until today. For the first time in
about 6 weeks, I decide to run 'minicpan'. I typed the command by
itself, as I have always done -- and only got the usage statement. I
attribute this to the disappearance of .minicpanrc config file.
I am now running 'minicpan -l </path/to/minicpan>. AFAICT, the minicpan
tree is itself undamaged. Is there any way to simply regenerate
.minicpanrc without triggering another minicpan update process?
Thank you very much.
