+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 easiest to manually edit the C<urllist> setting in
+the CPAN configuration file (global configuration settings are located
+in C</usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Config.pm> with per-user override
+settings optionally specified in C<~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm>). For
+example, open C</usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN/Config.pm> in your editor and
+update the C<urllist> entry (do not change or delete the other
+settings):
+
+ $CPAN::Config = {
+ ...
+ 'urllist' => [q[http://www.perl.com/CPAN/]],
+ ...
+ };
+ 1;
+ __END__
+
+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>.
