[OpenIndiana-discuss] perl -MCPAN can't select continent "invalid items entered, try again"

[Thommy M. Malmström]

On oi-b148 when I want to add a perl library from CPAN for the first
time, there's a configuration part taking part. When it comes to the
part where one should select the favorite CPAN-mirror there's an
error. See below. What can I do to mitigate this problem?



----------------------------
Now we need to know where your favorite CPAN sites are located. Push
a few sites onto the array (just in case the first on the array won't
work). If you are mirroring CPAN to your local workstation, specify a
file: URL.

First, pick a nearby continent and country (you can pick several of
each, separated by spaces, or none if you just want to keep your
existing selections). Then, you will be presented with a list of URLs
of CPAN mirrors in the countries you selected, along with previously
selected URLs. Select some of those URLs, or just keep the old list.
Finally, you will be prompted for any extra URLs -- file:, ftp:, or
http: -- that host a CPAN mirror.

Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [] 28
invalid items entered, try again

No matter what value I give it says "invalid items entered, try again"
