Re: I can not install perl modules via LWP

I also get this on some modules (not all). For example I can run this without proxy prompts:

export -n HTTP_PROXY; perl -MCPAN -e "install Email::MIME"

But this prompts for proxy credentials:

export -n HTTP_PROXY; perl -MCPAN -e "install Test::NoWarnings"
LWP failed with code[403] message[Forbidden]
Proxy authentication needed!
[download]

I think it's a bogus message as Proxy Authentication Required is HTTP/407, not HTTP/403, but maybe CPAN is blocking specific modules at the origin server for some reason?
