[lug] Reconfiguring CPAN ftp sites

Folks,

I was setting up CPAN so I could install the Date::Calc module.  Since it
was the first time I was running it on this system, it asked lots of
questions about what ftp servers I wanted, etc.  I started with
ftp.cs.colorado.edu, since it's close.  

Anyway, I can't ftp to ftp.cs.colorado.edu, and I don't know how to
reconfigure the CPAN stuff.  It made a ~/.cpan directory, but when I
deleted that CPAN still knew my settings.  Where is the file so I can
manually configure CPAN again, or, better yet, what's the command so I can
force it to ask me questions again?

I'm using January Krud, so it's perl 5.6.  I couldn't find what I needed
at the CPAN FAQ, btw.

Thanks for the help.
