Hi -

I just installed perl-5.8.0 from source, in the shell
(perl -MCPAN -e shell) I tried to "install LWP" but
had some problems until I added an *incorrect*
hostname to the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts

my resolver provides correct reverse dns, how do
I use that? and how do I manually set the hostname
perl is looking for? I didn't see the parameter in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CPAN/Config.pm?
