[MacPerl] CPAN.pm and LWP

[Ken Williams <ken@forum.swarthmore.edu>]

Hiya,

Is the CPAN shell known to have problems fetching with LWP on the Mac?
Every time I run the shell and it tries to download something, it takes
20 seconds or so trying to use LWP with an FTP URL, then it gives up and
uses Net::FTP (and succeeds).

I've got the latest cpan-mac (0.40) and the latest LWP (5.48), with
MacOS 9.0.4.  About 50 MB of RAM allocated to MacPerl.

By the way, can I safely upgrade to CPAN.pm 1.54, or should I continue
to use the version (1.50) that comes with cpan-mac?  I see that
CPAN-testers shows a PASS for 1.54 on MacOS - I suppose that's good
enough?

By the way, Chris - there's a link on http://pudge.net/cgi-bin/mmp.plx
that points to http://www.perl.org/cpan-testers/ and I think it should
point to http://testers.cpan.org/ .
