I have a lot of boxes which are behind firewalls. Fortunately, I have a

The problem is that often when I run the CPAN shell (# perl -MCPAN
-eshell) I am asked the question: "Are you ready for manual
configuration?". After I answer "yes" at some point it tries to grab the
MIRRORED.BY file from ftp.perl.org. This process takes quite a while
since it tries many things to reach the outside world. Finally it quits
and I can tell it where my CPAN mirror is.

Is there any way to configure the urllist with my mirror before doing
the manual config? I read perldoc CPAN but didn't see any way to do
this.

Erm, Apache isn't a database server! Or am I missing something? What exactly is it you want to do?

I'm sorry - that was a reply to a different question. Please ignore my
nonsense.
