in thread How do I make CPAN not use LWP

Hi,

So, we are talking about pitfalls in CPAN? What about the fact that, when it do not find a readme file, it tries every get method (ranging from LWP to lynx --source) on every mirror on my list?

I can't even undersstand why trying all methods, if LWP replies with 'the file is not here', then the file is not there and nothing will change y changing the access method... And why trying all mirrors?

Cheers
