in reply to Set incorrect CPAN url repository

The easiest way is probably to edit .cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm in your home directory. Search for urllist.

There's also an interactive way in the shell, probably something with o conf urllist, but I can never quite remember the syntax, and you need to remember to o conf commit at the end.

    "and you need to remember to o conf commit at the end."

    I think this depends on your Perl version. Strawberry v5.12.3 which I have on my Windows laptop does it automatically, our clients aging 5.8.8 (I know, I know, we're working on it) installed on Solaris doesn't.

    Update: s/install/installed/
