Japanese CPAN mirror site

Introducing the Japanese mirror site of CPAN . CPAN can use all modules for free on sites where Perl modules are distributed. (CPAN) 

ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/CPAN

ftp://ftp.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/pub/lang/cpan/

I feel that ftp://ftp.riken.jp/lang/CPAN/ is always good. The only difference between FTP and HTTP is that the protocol is different when downloading, and there is not much difference from the user's point of view. Perl doesn't have an HTTP client in its core module, but it does have an FTP client, so FTP may be a bit better.

How to add a URL list on CPAN.

cpan

# URL check
o conf urllist

# Add URL
o conf urllist unshift ftp://ftp.riken.jp/lang/CPAN/

# Make changes effective

q

If you can't connect to the mirror you're connecting to, add another mirror like this and the download will work.
