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

In old CPANs, when you run it first time, it asked you for the continent/country your're in, and then gave you a way to choose mirror.

Now it doesn't ask this question! I can of course find mirror manually, and put it in urllist, but the geographical browsing in CPAN was really handy, but I can't seem to be able to get it any longer.

Was this feature removed, or am I simply missing something?

Try entering o conf init urllist into the CPAN shell. This gives me the geographical menu you are looking for. (I've got cpan script version 1.9; CPAN.pm version 1.9402; perl, v5.10.0 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi)
