in thread How do I determine mirror used by cpanm?

Yes, but I don't see how it's possible that cpan.org would serve out an outdated copy of the module. I figured there must be some local configuration that is telling it which mirror to use.

But I just looked at the build log. It says: Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JL/JLMARTIN/Paws-0.41.tar.gz So why would cpanm download an older version of this distriubtion? It should be downloading Paws-0.42, shouldn't it?

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest Vicar";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

    Look at 02packages.details.txt:

    Paws 0.41 J/JL/JLMARTIN/Paws-0.41.tar.g +z Paws::AccessAnalyzer undef J/JL/JLMARTIN/Paws-0.42.tar.g +z

    The clientas show:

    marto@marto-laptop~ $ sudo cpanm --info Paws JLMARTIN/Paws-0.41.tar.gz marto@marto-laptop~ $ sudo cpanm --info Paws::AccessAnalyzer JLMARTIN/Paws-0.42.tar.gz marto@marto-laptop~ $ cpan -D Paws Reading '/home/marto/.local/share/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Thu, 09 Apr 2020 07:55:54 GMT Paws ---------------------------------------------------------------------- +--- (no description) J/JL/JLMARTIN/Paws-0.41.tar.gz (no installation file) Installed: not installed CPAN: 0.41 Not up to date Jose Luis Martinez Torres (JLMARTIN) jlmartinez@cpan.org

    can confirm. Both cpanm --info Paws and cpanplus l Paws indicate that the Version on CPAN is 0.41 …
    probably some missing index file or so.
