Okay, that seems like more trouble than needed since you have p4 access. FYI: the perl-current branch can be rsynced like:
rsync -az --delete ftp.linux.activestate.com::perl-current /your/mirror/dir/
or ftp-mirror from (there is mirror.pl on CPAN):
ftp.linux.activestate.com/pub/staff/gsar/APC/perl-current
for maint-5.8/perl these are: rsync://ftp.linux.activestate.com::perl-5.8.x ftp://ftp.linux.activestate.com/pub/staff/gsar/APC/perl-5.8.x
for maint-5.6/perl-5.6.2 these are: rsync://ftp.linux.activestate.com::perl-5.6.2 ftp://ftp.linux.activestate.com/pub/staff/gsar/APC/perl-5.6.2
rsync has problems through our firewall - I suspect 'p4 sync' is the way to go. Anyone know the settings should have in my perforce clients file?
