Type the following:

+
+B<Optional:> The remaining steps of the installation could run
+significantly faster if you configure a fast mirror that uses HTTP vs.
+FTP (both transfer data at the same rate once the transfer is in
+progress, but HTTP connects much more quickly... and a Catalyst
+installation involves many connections). One way to do this is to
+answer C<yes> to the C<Are you ready for manual configuration?> prompt
+when you ran C<perl -MCPAN -e shell> above. Or, you can rerun the
+script by entering the following command at the C<cpanE<gt>> prompt:
+
+ cpan> o conf init
+
+It will then take you through the configuration dialog.
+
+However, it's often easiesr to avoid the full configuration dialog and
+manually add a URL. To prepend a new URL to the B<front> of the list,
+use the C<unshift> option to C<o conf>:
+
+ cpan> o conf urllist unshift http://www.perl.com/CPAN/
+
+Where C<http://www.perl.com/CPAN/> is replaced by a nearby, HTTP-based
+mirror. You can get a list of all mirrors (including where they are
+located, their bandwidth, and their update frequency) at
+L<http://www.perl.com/CPAN/MIRRORED.BY>.
+
+Then, be sure to save your changes (or they will be lost the next
+time you restart the CPAN shell):
+
+ cpan> o conf commit
+
+You can view the current settings with C<o conf urllist> (or just
+C<o conf> to view all settings):
+
+ cpan> o conf urllist
+ urllist
+ http://www.perl.com/CPAN/
+ Type 'o conf' to view configuration edit options
+
+Note that multiple values can be entered for the C<urllist> option (the
+first entry will be used as long as it responds).
