This can easily be modified in your CPAN configuration, or via the CPAN shell: [jason at polaris jason]$ ./perl5/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell Terminal does not support AddHistory. cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7601) ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN') cpan> o conf ncftpget /usr/bin/lftpget ncftpget /usr/bin/lftpget You can save it permanently in your /path/to/CPAN/Config.pm. -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net
