Thanks..  Didn't find it there but I was able to locate it in

Hello!

Anyone know how to remove a mirror from the list that CPAN uses?  I
would like to remove ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu from the list as it
keeps timing out

Thanks!

Re: Two easy questions.

[Bob Gordon]

If you are in 2K or XP you can go to the System Properties screen.  In
there click on the advanced tab then "Environment Variables".  Under
"System Variables" locate PATHEXT.  Add  ;.pl  to the end of the list
then click OK.

The system should allow for executing .pl files.  As long as you have
the #!..  info at the top of the file you should be OK.

Regards,
