ClamAVModule install problem

Spent all morning trying different mirrors, even tryed pointing urllist
directly at 'http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SA/SABECK/' and
cpan refused to find Mail::ClamAV.

i /Mail::ClamAV/ refused to find the module on any mirror.

But I did solve it, so for anyone else who ever has trouble finding a
module on cpan you know exists, go and delete '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
and then try again. This will force cpan to reload all the indexes
and it then immediatly found the module.
