So I configured cpan to use an internal company mirror. However now I want to reset it back to default values. (and no I don't remember how I got this whacked configuration, except I did it all from the cpan shell)

I tried first: 

o conf init urllist

[download]

However it looks to the internal company mirror for the MIRROR.BY list. That of course only lists the inside and it never gives me the option of choosing North America or anything after that.

Then I decided to try to reset everything with 

o conf init

[download]

However when it gets to doing stuff related to the Internet it again only looks to our internal server.

Short of removing and reinstalling cpan is there some way to reset it to the originial default values?

Thanks in advance.
