Speaking of bad configs, I think I might be a good idea to start adding
some basic error checks.
Yesterday I got caught by the various paths not allowing the use of
tilde ~. Instead of my homedir, it installed to a directory called,
literally, "~".
Apart from being a little annoying, fixing it required I make the
scariest command I've ever done on a production system.
rm -rf "~"
:/

5.6.1 is a bit old, so I may misremember the options that were in the
CPAN.pm that comes with 5.6.1.
I'd expect that installing Net::FTP and pulling the ftp:// URL to the
front of urllist would get it working with the least possible
resistence.
Or maybe configuring an external ftp command like ftp or wget would be
even easier.

Ah, yes, this is wrong! It should be

Hope this helps,
