in reply to Unable to Install HTTP::Proxy

 cpan[2]> look HTTP::Proxy

steps out of cpan, opens a shell, in the build directory, you can run Makefile.PL or make or whatever

You can also issue  cpan[2]> notest install HTTP::Proxy

You can also issue  cpan[2]> force notest install HTTP::Proxy

Or from outside the shell cpan -f -i -T HTTP::Proxy

Yes, I just learned about this today about cpan, since I notmally use cpanp, like cpanp -i HTTP::Proxy --skiptest

like cpanp -i --skiptest --force HTTP::Proxy
