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__
+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).
