How can I get a list of mirrors in the newest CPAN.pm?

In older CPANs, when you launch it for the first time, it asked you for the continent / country you are in and then gave you the option to choose a mirror.

Now he doesn't ask this question! I can of course find the mirror manually and put it in the urllist, but the geographic view in CPAN was really handy, but I can't get it anymore.

Has this feature been removed or am I just missing something?

Try typing o conf init urllist

into CPAN shell. This gives me the geographic menu you are looking for. (I have a cpan script version 1.9, CPAN.pm version 1.9402; perl, v5.10.0, built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi)
