Not sure if this is a problem with Text::CSV::Slurp, cpanminus or some
mirrors specifically, but lately I have been having intermittent errors
when trying to install Text::CSV::Slurp using cpanminus. The problem is
with certain mirrors, but I'm not sure why (I assumed all mirrors should
be more or less equal?).
Below is part of the output I get from two separate runs to install
Text::CSV::Slurp, using two --mirror clauses, the first fixed at
xs4all.nl (closest to me), the second the fallback to search.cpan.org.
As you can see the first try fails, while the second succeeds.

Installed package Text::CSV::Slurp
I'm assuming the second run succeeds because the search.cpan.org geo
location aware redirector points me to a mirror that apparantly does
have the correct files.
Is there any way to find out what's really going on and why some mirrors
seem not to have (the correct?) Text:CSV::Slurp.
One thing I noticed is that the downloads above all go for
'authors/id/R/RO/ROBBIEBOW/', while the download link on the cpan
website points to 'authors/id/B/BA/BABF/Text-CSV-Slurp-0.9.tar.gz'?
Thanks for any hints, tips, reply, etc...
