I encountered problems when trying to extend CPAN.pm's urllist
configuration parameter with a local url by exporting it as an
environment variable under the name CPANSITE as described in this
module's documentation. Though I am not too familiar with CPAN.pm's
internals I came up with a patch supplied as an attachment to this
email. It seems like that CPAN::HandleConfig is wrapping CPAN.pm's
config data structure rather than CPAN::Config.
As this patch has been a quick fix, I would ask someone with deeper
insight in the internals to verify it before applying.
