CPAN autobundle fail

I was trying to autobundle an old perl setup but cpan was just sitting there failing to contact mirrors (cpanm user so that mirror list was probably ancient). This inspired me to visit https://www.cpan.org/SITES.html where it says www.cpan.org don't do mirrors anymore. Created the autobundle like so:

cpan -M https://www.cpan.org -a

See also What's happening to CPAN? I'm worried.. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

Did you configure `cpan` not to use a mirror?	[reply] [d/l]

It would be nice if the CPAN "Mirrors" page was edited to say more, like: "you can just point at www.cpan.org and go": Run cpan then set the mirror: `cpan o conf urllist www.cpan.org o conf commit` [download] Or set a temporary mirror: `cpan -M https://www.cpan.org` [download] Thanks for the link.
