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.
You should be able to make a basic CPAN configuration file that you
can copy from one machine to another. With a supplied initial
configuration, it shouldn't ask you about manual configuration.
Good luck with it!
