• Which server were you using? Note that many Perl software servers redirect your WWW requests to a site (hopefully) nearer to you. For example, the perl.com multiplexer does that so you often aren’t downloading from perl.com itself. If you are using a web browser, take a close look at the URL/Location. Also note that we cannot debug your network connectivity and if you have problems connecting to anywhere other than the CPAN master site, ftp.funet.fi, we probably cannot be of service. You can try changing the server to http://www.perl.com/CPAN, (note: NO final slash) and pick a new server. Note that the selection is `sticky’ and your browser will use that server from then on. Using http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ (note the final slash) will use the multiplexer to pick a new mirror for you. • What was the exact error message? We are not clairvoyant so please include the exact error message, cut and paste if you must. • Did you retry later? The server might be temporarily busy or be offline a
