in reply to Changing CPAN links to a faster site

I don't like either of the 3 sugguested. I want all my cpan links to go to my local mirror, so here it is, a beconing call for pmdevers, to create some kind of mechanism, that either decides based on a users timezone, a local cpan mirror, or lets the user choose from a list of cpan mirrors (the setting probably located in user settings).

update: oh, well there's other mirrors that allow searching right? then for the pmdevers, scratch option 1, go for 2, I becon you.

    But the mirrors are for downloads only. I want the links to go to a place where I can read the documentation and learn about a module without installing it, which is that these search engines let you do.
