If you're in the CPAN shell (by, for example, issuing the command `perl -MCPAN -e 'shell;'`), then you would do something like: `o conf urllist http://ftp.wayne.edu/cpan/ o conf commit` [download] (The last line saves the changes to the configuration.) As mr_mischief suggested, you probably would want to have more than one mirror you were trying to reach, so you might do something like: `o conf urllist http://ftp.wayne.edu/cpan/ http://mirror.sit.wisc.edu/p +ub/CPAN/ o conf commit` [download] According to the documentation for CPAN.pm, 'o conf urllist ' can also be followed by the commands unshift, shift, push, pop, splice, and list to examine or update the configuration option. Hope that helps.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I always choose at least 3 to 5 sites for CPAN. Sites come up, they go down, their directory structure changes, etc. It's good to have mirrors. Christopher E. Stith	[reply]

OK. I got it figured out. I am more of a newbie than I thought possible. I was not doing the o conf commit. Thanks for your time.	[reply]

Thanks for your help thus far. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but when I type in o conf urllist my results are not complete. I know I have added other urls but they're not there. I type in o conf urllist push http://ftp.wayne.edu/cpan/ Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Thanks.	[reply]
