Use "perl -MCPAN -e shell" to start the CPAN shell. Then use the "o conf urllist" command to manage the list: To show current list of servers: o conf urllist To remove a server from the list: o conf urllist pop <- to remove from bottom of list o conf urllist shift <- to remove from top of list To add a server to the list at the end: o conf urllist push ftp://blah.blah/pub/CPAN To add a server at the front: o conf urllist unshift ftp://blah.blah/pub/CPAN To save changes permanently: o conf commit All this is documented in perldoc CPAN -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
