in reply to Speeding Up PPM

I'd guess that it's not the number of repositories, but that you have one slow repository at the front of your queue. I greatly reduced the time I have to wait for CPAN queries by setting up a local mirror via CPAN::Mini - maybe you can do the same for PPM and set up a local repository mirror to speed up your searches.

    That's probably true. I should do some tests, and maybe put a timeout in there for slow repositories.

    I should also look into forking, but I don't have the time now.
