Yes I tried it with .ie first in MASTER_SORT but it didn't seem to make
any difference. I then disabled MASTER_RANDOM_SORT and then added the
following at the bottom of mk.conf:

MASTER_SITE_GNU=        ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/gnu/
MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE=ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/sourceforge/

This seems to have fixed it for me so far. I'll now try Irish mirrors
for Perl. Many thanks!
