in thread Creating a local CPAN server

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...

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