Mike -- the directory is set from the CPAN 'prefs_dir' option. By default, I think it is ~/.cpan/prefs (unfortunately, on Windows, that's like "c:\documents and settings\david\Local Settings\.cpan\prefs")
My current distroprefs are in my git repository -- you can browse them here: http://echo.dagolden.com/git/?p=distroprefs;a=tree If you want to clone them, if you have git you can do this: $ git clone git://echo.dagolden.com/git/distroprefs Note -- I'm not terribly consistent as to which file I put things. I also have never gone back to remove things if newer releases fixed the problem. You should at least look at the "never.yml" file. -- David On Sun, Feb 15, 2009 at 11:34 AM, Mike <mw...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Where the rubber meets the road- > > What is the default full pathname of the distroprefs file for CPAN.pm?
