Do you have a file at ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm ?

All you have to do is find and edit the 'urllist' declaration line.

It's intended to be easier than that.  Assuming that the offending mirror
is first in the list (or it would be unlikely for it to be a problem):

perl -MCPAN -e shell
o conf urllist shift
# Optionally, replace it with another one via:
  o conf urllist unshift http://new.mirror.com/CPAN
o conf commit
q

 If so, it's a declaration like
   CPAN::Config hash
 
  $CPAN::Config = {
'build_cache' = q[10],
'build_dir' = q[/Users/Shared/.cpan/build],
# ... several lines skipped ...
'urllist' = [q[ftp://ftp.cise.ufl.edu/pub/mirrors/CPAN/],
  q[ftp://ftp.cpanel.net/pub/CPAN/],
  q[ftp://ftp.cs.colorado.edu/pub/perl/CPAN/],
  q[ftp://ftp.dc.aleron.net/pub/CPAN/],
  q[ftp://ftp.duke.edu/pub/perl/]],
'wget' = q[],
  };
  1;
 
 All you have to do is find and edit the 'urllist' declaration line.

Thanks..  Didn't find it there but I was able to locate it in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN
