Re: The interactive shell to do the local cpan configuration

Typing help gives me a help screen. Also, reading CPAN helps.

The command you seem to be looking for is:

o conf
[download]

for displaying the configuration,

o conf gzip
[download]

to set a new value for the gzip option and

o conf init
[download]

to go through the whole initialization process once again.

well I usually change directly the CPAN::MyConfig.pm in the .cpan directory. I also need different ones to manage various distros and proxies. In the end I use aliases/scripts like this: `% steph@ape (/home/stephan/) % % cat /bin/perl_cpan58[78] #!/usr/bin/bash perl -I ~/.cpan587 -MCPAN::MyConfig -MCPAN "$@" #!/usr/bin/bash PATH=/opt/perl588/bin:/usr/bin perl -I ~/.cpan588 -MCPAN::MyConfig -MCPAN "$@"` [download] cheers --stephan	[reply] [d/l]
