+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+.IP "new( LOCAL_FILE_NAME )" 4
+.IX Item "new( LOCAL_FILE_NAME )"
+Create a new CPAN::Mirrors object from LOCAL_FILE_NAME. This file
+should look like that in http://www.cpan.org/MIRRORED.BY .
+.IP \fBcontinents()\fR 4
+.IX Item "continents()"
+Return a list of continents based on those defined in \fIMIRRORED.BY\fR.
+.IP "countries( [CONTINENTS] )" 4
+.IX Item "countries( [CONTINENTS] )"
+Return a list of countries based on those defined in \fIMIRRORED.BY\fR.
+It only returns countries for the continents you specify (as defined
+in \f(CW\*(C`continents\*(C'\fR). If you don't specify any continents, it returns all
+of the countries listed in \fIMIRRORED.BY\fR.
+.IP "mirrors( [COUNTRIES] )" 4
+.IX Item "mirrors( [COUNTRIES] )"
+Return a list of mirrors based on those defined in \fIMIRRORED.BY\fR.
+It only returns mirrors for the countries you specify (as defined
+in \f(CW\*(C`countries\*(C'\fR). If you don't specify any countries, it returns all
+of the mirrors listed in \fIMIRRORED.BY\fR.
+.IP "get_mirrors_by_countries( [COUNTRIES] )" 4
+.IX Item "get_mirrors_by_countries( [COUNTRIES] )"
+A more sensible synonym for mirrors.
+.IP "get_mirrors_by_continents( [CONTINENTS] )" 4
+.IX Item "get_mirrors_by_continents( [CONTINENTS] )"
+Return a list of mirrors for all of continents you specify. If you don't
+specify any continents, it returns all of the mirrors.
+.Sp
+You can specify a single continent or an array reference of continents.
+.IP "get_countries_by_continents( [CONTINENTS] )" 4
+.IX Item "get_countries_by_continents( [CONTINENTS] )"
+A more sensible synonym for countries.
+.IP default_mirror 4
+.IX Item "default_mirror"
+Returns the default mirror, http://www.cpan.org/ . This mirror uses
+dynamic DNS to give a close mirror.
+.IP best_mirrors 4
+.IX Item "best_mirrors"
+\&\f(CW\*(C`best_mirrors\*(C'\fR checks for the best mirrors based on the list of
+continents you pass, or, without that, all continents, as defined
+by \f(CW\*(C`CPAN::Mirrored::By\*(C'\fR. It pings each mirror, up to the value of
+\&\f(CW\*(C`how_many\*(C'\fR. In list context, it returns up to \f(CW\*(C`how_many\*(C'\fR mirrors.
+In scalar context, it returns the single best mirror.
+.Sp
+Arguments
+.Sp
+.Vb 5
+\& how_many \- the number of mirrors to return. Default: 1
+\& callback \- a callback for find_best_continents
+\& verbose \- true or false on all the whining and moaning. Default: false
+\& continents \- an array ref of the continents to check
+\& external_ping \- if true, use external ping via Net::Ping::External. Default: false
+.Ve
+.Sp
+If you don't specify the continents, \f(CW\*(C`best_mirrors\*(C'\fR calls
+\&\f(CW\*(C`find_best_continents\*(C'\fR to get the list of continents to check.
+.Sp
+If you don't have Net::Ping v2.13 or later, needed for timings,
+this returns the default mirror.
+.Sp
+\&\f(CW\*(C`external_ping\*(C'\fR should be set and then \f(CW\*(C`Net::Ping::External\*(C'\fR needs
+to be installed, if the local network has a transparent proxy.
+.IP "get_n_random_mirrors_by_continents( N, [CONTINENTS] )" 4
+.IX Item "get_n_random_mirrors_by_continents( N, [CONTINENTS] )"
+Returns up to N random mirrors for the specified continents. Specify the
+continents as an array reference.
+.ie n .IP "get_mirrors_timings( MIRROR_LIST, SEEN, CALLBACK, %ARGS );" 4
+.el .IP "get_mirrors_timings( MIRROR_LIST, SEEN, CALLBACK, \f(CW%ARGS\fR );" 4
+.IX Item "get_mirrors_timings( MIRROR_LIST, SEEN, CALLBACK, %ARGS );"
+Pings the listed mirrors and returns a list of mirrors sorted in
+ascending ping times.
+.Sp
+\&\f(CW\*(C`MIRROR_LIST\*(C'\fR is an anonymous array of \f(CW\*(C`CPAN::Mirrored::By\*(C'\fR objects to
+ping.
+.Sp
+The optional argument \f(CW\*(C`SEEN\*(C'\fR is a hash reference used to track the
+mirrors you've already pinged.
+.Sp
+The optional argument \f(CW\*(C`CALLBACK\*(C'\fR is a subroutine reference to call
+after each ping. It gets the \f(CW\*(C`CPAN::Mirrored::By\*(C'\fR object after each
+ping.
+.IP "find_best_continents( HASH_REF );" 4
+.IX Item "find_best_continents( HASH_REF );"
+\&\f(CW\*(C`find_best_continents\*(C'\fR goes through each continent and pings \f(CW\*(C`N\*(C'\fR
+random mirrors on that continent. It then orders the continents by
+ascending median ping time. In list context, it returns the ordered list
+of continent. In scalar context, it returns the same list as an
+anonymous array.
+.Sp
+Arguments:
+.Sp
+.Vb 6
+\& n \- the number of hosts to ping for each continent. Default: 3
+\& seen \- a hashref of cached hostname ping times
+\& verbose \- true or false for noisy or quiet. Default: false
+\& callback \- a subroutine to run after each ping.
+\& ping_cache_limit \- how long, in seconds, to reuse previous ping times.
+\& Default: 1 day
+.Ve
+.Sp
+The \f(CW\*(C`seen\*(C'\fR hash has hostnames as keys and anonymous arrays as values.
+The anonymous array is a triplet of a \f(CW\*(C`CPAN::Mirrored::By\*(C'\fR object, a
+ping time, and the epoch time for the measurement.
+.Sp
+The callback subroutine gets the \f(CW\*(C`CPAN::Mirrored::By\*(C'\fR object, the ping
+time, and measurement time (the same things in the \f(CW\*(C`seen\*(C'\fR hashref) as
+arguments. \f(CW\*(C`find_best_continents\*(C'\fR doesn't care what the callback does
+and ignores the return value.
+.Sp
+With a low value for \f(CW\*(C`N\*(C'\fR, a single mirror might skew the results enough
+to choose a worse continent. If you have that problem, try a larger
+value.
