Configuring CPAN from the CPAN prompt

--

I  have  been  using  Perl for eons now, and just realized that I
don't have to manually edit CPAN/Config.pm to do things like  add
urls.

To add a fetch URL, for example:

  cpan[0]>o config urllist push "url_to_add"

Then commit the change:

  cpan[1]>o config commit

Done!

For good measure, the list of CPAN mirror sites:

CPAN Mirror Listing

To view all configurable options, type:

  cpan[2]>o conf

Also,  I  recently  installed BioPerl on a production system, and
the instructions also provide some insights  into  a  few  useful
features of CPAN - about which I was unaware.

Enjoy!
