Well, there's a plain old root-level Config.pm, too... although I have to admit that when I earlier said that I had manually edited Config.pm, I was lying. I had actually edited CPAN::Config.pm (oops... I didn't remember till later).

Specifically, it was because the prompt for entering a list of mirrors said to separate the mirrors by spaces and then hit enter (which I did), even though it actually wanted you to put each mirror on its own line (enter between each mirror). It was easier to edit CPAN::Config.pm than to go through the entire CPAN config process... espescially since it was pretty apparent where the config process steered me wrong.
