Yes, I now tried to use o conf. But my problem remains. If the 01mailrc.txt.gz has an older date than today, it tries to fetch it via LWP. And this fails. And I want always to use my offline-cpan archive independent of having a connection to internet or not.

Here the errors:

cpan> install Text::Trim
Could not find 'D:\Perl\strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\01mailrc.txt.g
+z'
Fetching with LWP:
file:///D:/Perl/strawberry/cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
LWP failed with code[404] message[File `D:\Perl\strawberry\cpan\source
+s\authors\01mailrc.txt.gz' does not exist]
Could not find 'D:\Perl\strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\01mailrc.txt.g
+z'

But the file exists. It just has a date of 27th of January instead of today. Cpan then renames my local file to e.g. 01mailrc.txt.gz.bak4400.

Here my configuration:
