Stopping the cpan shell from fetching the modules list Mumia W. 08-10-2006

Almost every time I use the cpan shell to search for some
modules, it downloads the list of authors and modules. I'm on
dialup, and this takes some time, and it annoys me.

How do I tell the cpan shell not to do this?

Do you mean this?

cpan> m /module_name/

Which restricts query to modules.

Unfortunately, my news-server doesn't support message cancels
because I wish I could cancel that message.

The answer is to edit MyConfig.pm to make 'index_expire' a
higher value than '1.'
