^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ CPAN tries to use LWP for URLs. If it can't find that it has a special case fallback for FTP. Before all this it has special code to try and handle file URIs which your URL passed through without it being recognized. * Are you sure /disk1/src/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz exists? * If not, can you rerun your attempt but this time invoking the CPAN shell as: perl -MCPAN -e '$CPAN::DEBUG = 512; shell' retry your command and send the output?

fine now. I'm going to co-opt this bug, I don't think the real problem is resolved. You had to talk to the developers to find out a simple configuration mistake. There's obviously a problem with the error message. It would be nice if CPAN.pm let the user know why it rejects a file URL.
