in reply to CPAN widget not updating (list stale at MetaCPAN too)

When I try to update my local minicpan through the usual

minicpan -l c:/minicpan -r http://cpan.org

invocation, it returns immediately without doing any downloading of new or updated modules.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

    What if you tried https instead?

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
      The issue remains the same.
