Type "perl -MCPAN -e shell" to get a CPAN shell prompt.  At the "cpan>"
prompt type "o conf" to get a list of configurable settings.  Change
whatever you like (or don't like).

For more information, type "man CPAN" at an ordinary shell prompt.

My "urllist" setting is "ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/perl/CPAN/"
but you may prefer to use a local server.
