Hi,

More of a sysadmin question this time, but certainly related to perl..

We are behind several firewalls and some servers do not even have access to outside via proxy. We do already have a cpan-mirror inside here and it works fine.

Now we want to install some of the cpan modules as RPMs. I found cpan2rpm to be a nice tool to convert cpan modules directly from cpan into rpms, but after some tests I found out that it makes heavy use of the URL http://search.cpan.org... a real showstopper :-(

Now - does anybody here know how to make one's own search.cpan.... mirror? Is it possible and - is it feasible? Or are there some other usable tools out there (besides cpanflute2) that might work for me instead?

Any ideas and comments greatly appreciated.

Regards,
svenXY
