I've searched, found and read the node My interactive CPAN config doesn't understand continents (how does one find the node_id anyway is it in the HTML source (i've not looked there yet)) I get no list of continents, and it does not like the numbers and continent names I've tried. Any hints/pointers on how to work around this?
