CPAN navigation: CPAN/src/ CPAN/SITES Welcome to the CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. This document describes the CPAN itself, the Network. --- Network The master CPAN site is at FUNET, the Finnish University NETwork (Finland, Europe). Select the site nearest to you from the list below, 'Registered CPAN sites', to get the best response time and bandwidth. NOTE: one way to select 'the nearest' is to use the CPAN Multiplexer which can be used either to http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ or to http://www.perl.com/CPAN the nearest site for you based on your host's Internet domain name. The list of the registered CPAN sites follows. Please note that the sorting order is alphabetical on fields: continent - country/state - ftp-url and thus the North American servers happen to be listed between the European and the South American sites.

ftp://sunsite.dcc.uchile.cl/pub/Lang/perl/CPAN/ Feedback You can send email to the CPAN administrators, cpan@perl.org. How You Can Help Inform If you know of some Perl resources that seem not to be in the CPAN (you did check the contents listings in indices/, didn't you?) please tell us. We will grab it (if it is small and/or stable) or set up regular mirroring (if it is not). Contribute If you have some modules/scripts/documentation yourself that you would like to contribute to CPAN, please read the file modules/04pause and let us know. Register If you have a reliable and well-connected ftp site where you can keep CPAN (about 260 MB currently), more mirror sites are welcome. Feel free to volunteer and contact the CPAN administrators describing your mirroring setup, please see the top of the file MIRRORED.BY Of course, first check (see from the above list) whether you area (network-connectivity-and-bandwidth-wise) is already well covered. Redundancy and fault-tolerance are good things for ftp archives like CPAN but virtues can be exaggerated. Mirroring software is available from the CPAN itself. Private/Local Mirroring If you want to set up a private/local mirror of CPAN but do not want to advertise it you do not need to contact the CPAN admistrators. You need to assess which of the public CPAN sites would give the best ftp bandwidth for you (during the nighttime, mind) and then contact the email address dst_contact given in the MIRRORED.BY file to learn the best time of the day to do your mirror. Mirroring software is available from the CPAN itself. ---
