Here's an odd one:
Every time I install something with CPAN, I have to wait about <b>four minutes</b> for it to time out getting "01mailrc.txt.gz". Everything else about CPAN is fine:
<code>
# cpan
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.76)
ReadLine support enabled
cpan> install Date::Format
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /Users/brian/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Thu, 08 Dec 2005 23:00:12 GMT
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok
Fetching with LWP:
ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
LWP failed with code[400] message[FTP return code 000]
Fetching with Net::FTP:
ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Couldn't fetch 01mailrc.txt.gz from ftp.perl.org
Issuing "/usr/bin/ftp -n"

</code>
I've tried deleting ~/root/.cpan, but the problem comes back. Directly ftp'ing is fine, no hang, no timeout, no pause, no delay, no trouble getting "01mailrc.txt.gz":
<code># ftp ftp.perl.org
Trying 199.239.233.95...
Connected to ftp.cpan.ddns.develooper.com.
