Hello everyone,
I can't find the solution to a problem. I downloaded perl strawberry portable and ran minicpan to get my local copy of one miror (no problem, it works great). Now I want to make it available to people that have access to a shared folder on a VM on the network
The constraint is that we are limited to windows as OS and I can't configure cpan correctly to use that mirror.
Let's assume I put the miror copy in
\\a_server\Shared Internal\porcelet\my_cpan_mirror
Then I went in the cpan config file to edit 'urllist'
I have the following line
'urllist' => [q\\\\a_server\\Shared Internal\\porcelet\\my_cpan_mirror]
cpan tries to fetch with LWP
but the address looks weird...it starts by the url I specified and it's then followed by /authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
I have the same issue for packages details and modlist.
It indicates that the url must be absolute....did I miss something?
I'd like to use unix environnement, I know it's easier...but You can't always do what you want ;)
Regards
