CPAN/SITES

Welcome to the CPAN, the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network.

This document describes the CPAN itself, the Network.

Network

The master CPAN site is at FUNET, the Finnish University NETwork
(Finland, Europe). Select the site nearest to you from the list
below, 'Registered CPAN sites', to get the best response time
and bandwidth.  NOTE: one way to select 'the nearest' is to use
the CPAN Multiplexer which can be used either to
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/
or to
http://www.perl.com/CPAN
the nearest site for you
based on your host's Internet domain name.

The list of the registered CPAN sites follows.
Please note that the sorting order is alphabetical on fields:


       continent - country/state - ftp-url


and thus the North American servers happen to be listed between the
European and the South American sites.

How You Can Help

Inform

If you know of some Perl resources that seem not to be in the CPAN
(you did check the contents listings in indices/, didn't you?) please tell us.  We will grab it (if it is small and/or stable) or set up regular mirroring
(if it is not).

Contribute

If you have some modules/scripts/documentation yourself that you
would like to contribute to CPAN, please read the file modules/04pause
and let us know.

Register

If you have a reliable and well-connected ftp site where you can
keep CPAN (about 260 MB currently), more mirror sites are welcome.
Feel free to volunteer and contact the CPAN
administrators describing your mirroring setup, please see the top
of the file MIRRORED.BY Of course, first
check (see from the above list) whether you
area (network-connectivity-and-bandwidth-wise) is already well
covered. Redundancy and fault-tolerance are good things for ftp
archives like CPAN but virtues can be exaggerated. Mirroring
software is available
from the CPAN itself.

Private/Local Mirroring

If you want to set up a private/local mirror of CPAN but
do not want to advertise it you do not need to contact the CPAN
admistrators. You need to assess which of the public CPAN
sites would give the best ftp bandwidth for you (during the
nighttime, mind) and then contact the email address dst_contact
given in the MIRRORED.BY file to learn the best time of the
day to do your mirror. Mirroring software
is available from the
CPAN itself.
