Dear All,

During CPAN installation first time on Linux (using perl -MCPAN -e shell command), I have made a typo and entered some wrong URL as repository, while answering the interactive questions on screen. Now how do I change it ?

UPDATE
=============
My apologies if I am asking stupid question. Due to some reasons my server is restricted from accessing the said URL :-(. Now I just want to install Net::SFTP module, I wonder if I can download the tar.gz file on my laptop from CPAN site and upload it to my Linux server. And then can install it? Is it possible to use CPAN to install this standalone tar.gz file ? I would be grateful if you could direct me to some tutorial which could guide me on this part. The CPAN tutorial on Does Not tell us, what to do if the server cannot access repository.
