jeffreyray has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I want to add a stratopan repository to the list of mirrors cpanminus uses on a machine.

I don't want to have to specify the mirror with the --mirror command each time.

I have set PERL_CPANM_OPT to "https://mymirror" but cpanm only looks for dependencies on my mirror, and not the default repository.

How do I make sure cpanminus looks in the default repositories if a module is not found in my repository?

    stratopan ? hum, new to me :) Private CPAN in the Cloud - Stratopan

    I don't want to have to specify the mirror with the --mirror command each time.

    Call your program cpanmm and have it specify --mirror each time :)

    I have set PERL_CPANM_OPT to "https://mymirror"

    Um, you mean "--mirror=https://mymirror" right?

    but cpanm only looks for dependencies on my mirror, and not the default repository. How do I make sure cpanminus looks in the default repositories if a module is not found in my repository?

    um, try cpanm --mirror https://mymirror --mirror http://www.cpan.org ...
