Index files are reloaded if you start to use them and
they are older than one day at the time. You can
force a reload in the backend object with
my $reload = $cp->reload_indices(update_source => 1);
(in the shell it's the 'x' command)
and it is also possible to change the update time
with the private method
$conf->_set_source( update => '1000' ).
The first method is documented in Backend.pm.
By 'no setting for the current CPAN archive', do you mean
modifying the URI list based upon where you are?
You can set environment variables to do this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
BEGIN {
$ENV{ftp_proxy} = 'current.domain.org';
}
use CPANPLUS;
shell();
This example comes from the FAQ. "Can I use
a local mirror..." might also be appropriate; I'm
not completely sure what you're pointing out.
You can mail the bugs list or the general suggestion
list, cpanplus-bugs and cpanplus-info
respectively, at lists.sourceforget.net to
report bugs or make suggestions. Other contact information
is also found on the
sourceforge pages. |
