What are you asking? How to use a proxy within perl scripts or how to run a proxy for cpan to use, and log proxy activity?	[reply]

You should use `o conf init /proxy/` It asks for http_proxy and ftp_proxy, where you can enter. Don't for get to type `o conf commit` after you make these changes. Comment if this has worked for you :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
