I love CPAN.pm and try to use it for almost everything concerning Perl
modules. The problem is to get it right the first time.

For this, I ended up mounting a CPAN CD and serve it locally through
an FTP server. Then, when CPAN wants to configure for the first time, I
specify ftp://localhost/pub/CPAN as the CPAN site and lo and behold --
it works! When CPAN is initialized, I can change the entry to
file::/misc/cd/CPAN (but I usually keep it set to the local FTP
server).
