So I get the NagBot reminder to upgrade CPAN::Reporter (convenient,
although not much grace period on it), except when I try to do so I get to
play FunWithBrokenMirrors(tm):
- - - 8< - - - 8< - - -
Running make for D/DA/DAGOLDEN/CPAN-Reporter-1.1705.tar.gz
Could not find
'/home/perl/cpan/authors/id/D/DA/DAGOLDEN/CPAN-Reporter-1.1705.tar.gz'
LWP not available
- - - 8< - - - 8< - - -
That oscillates between 1.1707 and 1.1705 depending on which mirror I get.
It's noticeable for me because I make a CPAN::Mini and disable CPAN from
accessing the Internet (which causes some problems with modules grabbing
development versions as dependencies, but I digress...)
So checking the mirrors with:
for i in `perl -0777 -e 'my @sites = map { /dst_http\s*=\s*"(.+)"/ or die;
$1; } grep /^\s*dst_http/m, grep /United States/, <> =~
/^(\S+:.*?\n\n)/gms; print map { "$_/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz\n"
} @sites;' git.cpanpm/cpanpm/MIRRORED.BY`; do HEAD $i | egrep
'^[0-9]|Last-Modified' | tr '\n' ' '; echo " $i"; done
and some editing, I get:

Which rather explains my problem. Time to go add "is mirror out-of-date?"
to my random mirror picking.
