You seem to be confusing modules filters and path filters, and ignoring all of the posting/formatting advice given.

FProt::Client is a module, not a CPAN path (it's in ~avar/), examples of the differences are explained in the CPAN::Mini documentation.

If you simply don't want to get any module containing the word 'FProt' in its name try:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use CPAN::Mini; CPAN::Mini->update_mirror( remote => "http://your.chosen.mirror/", local => "/local/path/here", trace => 1, module_filters => [ qr/fprot/i ] );

Or simply alter the filter accordingly to suit your needs.
