in thread installing text::csv cpan

Clicking http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz downloads a file for me, if it works for you from your desktop then this suggests you need to configure cpan to allow it to use your proxy. I mentioned reading the documentation for this in your previous thread, have you done so?

To kick off the configuraiton within the cpan shell:

C:\>cpan

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9800)
Enter 'h' for help.


cpan> o conf init /proxy/

some questions here which you answer

cpan> o conf commit

If in doubt as to what these settings should be speak to your systems or network administrator. Also please use the formatting used on this site for code and errors: How do I post a question effectively?.

      Glad you managed to install this module, did you manually download the files and install it that way? The reason I ask is that for modules with lots of dependancies this can take you quite a long time going back and fourth, and going the same process for multiple modules. Configuring cpan and PPM to work within your network is well worth the investment in time IMHO.

        all I did was to extract the tar file , and then run makefile.pl and type dmake dmake test dmake install

        but i have one question that since I am making an utility I don't want user to do it , so is it possible that the script itself installs the cpan
