-If you feel that you have experienced unreasonable difficulty reaching a particular mirror and wish 
-to inform us of this, please check the points below before contacting us. We do poll mirrors daily

-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.<BR>

-You can try changing the server to <A HREF="http://www.perl.com/CPAN">http://www.perl.com/CPAN</A>,
-(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 <A HREF="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/">http://www.perl.com/CPAN/</A> 
-(note the final slash) will use the multiplexer to pick a new mirror for you.

 Many CPAN filenames end in .tar.gz.  Unfortunately some programs mutilate such names
