Hello, The https://www.cpan.org/MIRRORED.BY file was updated on Sat Apr 10 04:32:30 2021 (UTC) and I believe the syntax is broken. The file has one distribution defined and it looks like the following: Global CPAN CDN: frequency = "instant" dst_http = "http://www.cpan.org/"; dst_location = "Everywhere, Global, Global (0 0)" dst_organisation = "Global CPAN CDN" dst_bandwidth = "100.0 Gb/s" dst_contact = "perl.org#cpan" dst_src = "rsync://cpan-rsync.perl.org/CPAN/" The problem is that when the default CPAN module runs for the first time and tries to auto-configure, it throws an error since the CPAN package expects that first line ("Global CPAN CDN:") to be a hostname. I believe that first line should read: www.cpan.org: Wen looking at the documentation of the format at the top of the file, it looks like this: # Explanation of the syntax: # # your.domain.name: # frequency = "daily|twice daily" or like "1d|24h|12h|8h|6h" # or "instant" if you use "instant mirroring" # dst_ftp = "ftp://your.host.name:/CPAN/mirror/directory/"; # dst_http = "http://your.host.name:/CPAN/mirror/directory/"; So, you can see that first line is a hostname, not a descriptive name. Thank you for any help you can provide. - Rich Pizzarro -- Rich Pizzarro Senior Software Architect Autodesk Construction Solutions MOBILE +1 717 319 8957 FAX +1 717 620 3489 SKYPE RHPizzarro Autodesk, Inc. www.autodesk.com<http://www.autodesk.com/> [AutodeskMakeAnything263x25x96dpi]
