Re^2: is CPAN::WAIT dead?

[pope-indigent]

Looks like the absence of the server was not the major problem ... there was an alarm set, there, so it just kills some time.

I have not debugged it further, looks like some of the fuzzy search funcs are failing.

I'd like to find a known active server, but I know of none. Maybe I'll come back to setting one up.

This may have made sense decades ago, unless you need to run a cpan 'offline', there's no sense in setting anything else up. Re^10: Using a Fetchrow with LWP. If you do need to create an offline mirror/darkpan see minicpan.
