I understand your point -- I've spent some time hacking on a solution for this last week... next (dev) release should have generic support for custom sources, much the way the current CPAN index works, but with far less hassle to the user. I'm entering your request in RT, so I won't forget about it :) -- Jos

The latest dev release has support for this, you can obtain it here: http://perl.xs4all.nl/~kane/CPANPLUS-0.83_04.tar.gz From the default, try out the /cs command, or read the docs in CPANPLUS::Backend for the API. Let me know how you like it :)
