I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.
CPAN

How do I uninstall CPAN? (No urllist)
I don't want to uninstall a CPAN module. I want to uninstall CPAN itself. I'm running Cygwin. I thought I could uninstall cpan by removing the .cpan directory, but this has no noticable effect. I can't configure cpan, so I want to uninstall it. It has no URL list, and can't get a URL list. This happens when I try to install a module:
Running install for module 'DBI' Running make for T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.615.tar.gz Fetching with LWP: http://perl.secsup.org/authors/id/T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.615.tar.gz LWP failed with code[403] message[Forbidden] Warning: no success downloading '/home/brak/.cpan/sources/authors/id/T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.615.tar.gz.tmp 3444'. Giving up on it. at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10/CPAN/Distribution.pm line 379 ... Client not fully configured, please proceed with configuring. You have not configured a urllist and do not allow connections to the internet to get a list of mirrors. If you wish to get a list of CPAN mirrors to pick from, use this command o conf init connect_to_internet_ok urllist If you do not wish to get a list of mirrors and would prefer to set your urllist manually, use just this command instead o conf init urllist cpan[2]> conf init connect_to_internet_ok urllist Unknown shell command 'conf'. Type ? for help.
I want to blow it all away and start over.
