+
+This module will eventually be replaced by CPANPLUS. CPANPLUS is kind
+of a modern rewrite from ground up with greater extensibility and more
+features but no full compatibility. If you're new to CPAN.pm, you
+probably should investigate if CPANPLUS is the better choice for you.
+If you're already used to CPAN.pm you're welcome to continue using it,
+if you accept that its development is mostly (though not completely)
+stalled.

to fetch the raw data from the net.

=head1 CONFIGURATION
-When the CPAN module is installed, a site wide configuration file is
-created as CPAN/Config.pm. The default values defined there can be
-overridden in another configuration file: CPAN/MyConfig.pm. You can
-store this file in $HOME/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm if you want, because
-$HOME/.cpan is added to the search path of the CPAN module before the
-use() or require() statements.
+When the CPAN module is used for the first time, a configuration
+dialog tries to determine a couple of site specific options. The
+result of the dialog is stored in a hash reference C< $CPAN::Config >
+in a file CPAN/Config.pm.
+
+The default values defined in the CPAN/Config.pm file can be
+overridden in a user specific file: CPAN/MyConfig.pm. Such a file is
+best placed in $HOME/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm, because $HOME/.cpan is
+added to the search path of the CPAN module before the use() or
+require() statements.
+
+The configuration dialog can be started any time later again by
+issueing the command C< o conf init > in the CPAN shell.
Currently the following keys in the hash reference $CPAN::Config are
defined:
dontload_hash anonymous hash: modules in the keys will not be
loaded by the CPAN::has_inst() routine
gzip location of external program gzip
+ histfile file to maintain history between sessions
+ histsize maximum number of lines to keep in histfile
inactivity_timeout breaks interactive Makefile.PLs after this
many seconds inactivity. Set to 0 to never break.
inhibit_startup_message
Most functions in package CPAN are exported per default. The reason
for this is that the primary use is intended for the cpan shell or for
-oneliners.

+I say one way visibility as these firewalls try to make themselves look
invisible to the users inside the firewall. An FTP data connection is
normally created by sending the remote server your IP address and then
listening for the connection. But the remote server will not be able to
hide a complete network behind one IP address. With this firewall no
special compiling is needed as you can access hosts directly.
+For accessing ftp servers behind such firewalls you may need to set
+the environment variable C<FTP_PASSIVE> to a true value, e.g.
+
+ env FTP_PASSIVE=1 perl -MCPAN -eshell
+
+or
+
+ perl -MCPAN -e '$ENV{FTP_PASSIVE} = 1; shell'
