=head1 DESCRIPTION

CPAN Mirrors come and go, and maybe you do too. The mirror that was
fast then might not be fast now, especially if you changed hemispheres.

This program goes through the F<MIRRORED.BY> file and pings a selection
of mirrors on each continent to find the fastest mirrors. From the best
continent, it samples several mirrors to find the URL you should add
to your configuration.

If you don't have a F<MIRRORED.BY> file, this program will download one
for you. It looks through your existing C<urllist> configuration and
then default locations. It stores it in C<~/.cpan> (or your configured
location to store files).
