The configuration script will run again as if you had never configured CPAN. Best of all, if you need to stop mid-way through the reconfiguration, your original configuration is still there. If you’d rather just adjust your mirror list rather than starting over completely with the CPAN configuration, use the following:
Display your current mirrors:
o conf urllist
Delete the first mirror in your list:
o conf urllist shift
Delete the last mirror in your list:
o conf urllist pop
Add on a new mirror:
o conf urllist push http://cpan.mirror.facebook.com/
Save your mirror changes:
o conf urllist commit
