You could read the documentation for cpan where it tells you how to configure a proxy: WORKING WITH CPAN.pm BEHIND FIREWALLS	[reply]

On my strawberry perl portable under windows with compulsory company proxy it suffices to specify a HTTP_PROXY variable. CMD Example: Install Data::Dumper::Concise through proxy `rem set HTTP_PROXY=http://IP_OF_YOUR_PROXY:PORT_OF_YOUR_PROXY rem e.g.: set HTTP_PROXY=http://192.168.10.20:3128 cpanm Data::Dumper::Concise` [download] In my case the proxy does not require autentication. If your proxy requires authentication, then it will probably be something like `set HTTP_PROXY=http://USER:PASSWORD@IP_OF_YOUR_PROXY:PORT_OF_YOUR_PROX +Y` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

As Spreadsheet::Read is just a wrapper over optional parsers, you can now selectively choose the parser you need. If you want to read recentish Excel (with the .xlsx extension), you's want to install Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX. For older Excel, you'd want Spreadsheet::ParseExcel. You can follow the same steps you took for Spreadsheet::Read and recursively "fix" all dependencies. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]

Where I work, there is a "transparent proxy". Basically that means that the router between the internal network and the Internet has a rule that diverts outgoing connection attempts to an authorization server. When a site is visited with a web browser, the browser can authenticate to the authorization server, which then sends a new rule to the router, allowing the associated internal IP address to make outbound connections. Once that is done, other programs on that PC can make connections until the rule expires. If your company's proxy works the same way, then visiting `www.cpan.org` should make it possible for the `cpan` command to install a few modules. When it fails, use the browser, again, then retry the `cpan` command.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
