`# perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'` [download] And then ... `cpan> o conf urllist http://ppm.activestate.com/CPAN http://cpan.p +erl.org cpan> exit Terminal does not support GetHistory. Lockfile removed.` [download] You did not save your configuration. Before leaving the CPAN shell, you need the `o conf commit` [download] command. Just like the posts instructed you.

`# perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'` Tip for the technically less experienced people: the quotes are unnecessary on all platforms that I know off, so to avoid portability problems, it may be better to drop them: `perl -MCPAN -e shell` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
