Terminal does not support AddHistory.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9205)
ReadLine support available (maybe install Bundle::CPAN or Bundle::CPANxxl?)

cpan[1]> test
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18)
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v5.819)

I would like to connect to one of the following sites to get ‘authors/01mailrc.txt.gz’:

http://www.perl.org/CPAN/
ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/

Is it OK to try to connect to the Internet? [yes]
