CD-ROM Support
The urllist parameter in the configuration table contains a list of URLs that will be used for downloading. If the list contains any file URLs, CPAN looks there first for files (except index files). So if you are using a CD-ROM containing the CPAN contents, include the CD-ROM as a file URL at the end of urllist since it is likely to be out-of-date. You can do this with:
o conf urllist push file://localhost/CDROM/CPAN
