Question

Recently installed Perl 5.16 and was able to install modules fine until today.
Other than root when trying to install modules it gets LWP failed with code 403.

Reading '/home/user01/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz'
  Database was generated on Sun, 24 Jun 2012 18:23:03 GMT
............................................................................DONE
Fetching with LWP:
http://mwn-tlkm.archive.or.id/cpan/modules/03modlist.data.gz
LWP failed with code[403] message[Forbidden]

Is there a way to fix this? Any help is appreciated.

Use a different mirror.

 $ cpan
 o conf init urllist
 ...
 o conf commit
 quit
