The module "Net::LocalCfg" is missing from CPAN. I did some research and found the following (I am using Strawberry Perl 5.24.1 on Windows 10):

1. Core module "C:\Strawberry\perl\lib\Net\Config.pm" requires module "Net::LocalCfg".
2. Module "Net::LocalCfg" does not exist in CPAN.

It appears to me that "Net::LocalCfg" needs to be reinstated in CPAN, or removed as a required module in "Net::Config". The docs for "Net::Config" say that "Net::Config" inherits from "Net::LocalCfg".

I sent an email to the current maintainer of "Net::Config" (Steve Shay) over a month ago, but have not heard anything in reply. Any other suggestions how to resolve the issue? Thanks.
