Is there a way to tell cpan not to use LWP.pm? I looked in MyConfig.pm but didn't see anything specific. I ended up installing it because of a dependency and now cpan always tries to use it first and then takes forever to time out before finally switching to curl. Frustrating!! Using the cpan that comes with Perl 5.10.1 on Solaris 10 SPARC (compiled with the gcc under /usr/sfw/). Thanks!

Update: [tye]'s answer in Re: How do I tell cpan not to use LWP.pm? (UtS,L) is correct! Thanks!!
