| Subject: | Feature request: fail if none of the hosts in urllist works. |
We've got an internal CPAN repository and it is the only thing in the urllist configuration. We
only want to be able to fetch from that repository and not go anywhere else. Unfortunately,
cpan attempts to contact the outside world with default URLs when it can't contact that internal
server.
We've got a workaround: by not including proxy information in Config.pm, all attempts to
contact the outside world fail, but the results are not pretty as cpan attempts everything it can
to get somewhere.
So, could there be a configuration option to tell it to not be so persistent?
CPAN is too robust. :]
