Re^2: Creating a local CPAN server

I had already heard about CPAN::Mini. However taking into account the following discussion in this thread, one gathers the idea that however cheap disk space is becoming now, it is not that "mini" after all.

Is it possible that one cannot easily setup an infrastructure a' la CPAN only for "local" stuff... CPAN::Micro, any?!?

CPAN::Mini allows you to filter out content. So I suppose you could filter out everything and then just put your stuff to the repository. The down side is that it's not very convenient to switch your CPAN shell from one repository to another.	[reply]

Is it? I thought it would just search each repository in turn. For example if I put my local one first, then if I search a "local module" it will be searched. If I search a real CPAN module, then it won't be find on the local repository and CPAN.pm will switch to the next one. Which repository to put first depends on which kind of module one will need more often...	[reply]

CPAN.pm will only try subsequent repositories in your list if its unable to get a response from the current repository.	[reply]
