Re: Upgrading Perl on windows to 5.8 <- Problems with installer

You probably need to (re)configure your proxy setting. PPM can't reach the internet without it.

Set the environment variable HTTP_PROXY to something appropriate that looks like: http://yourproxy.yourdomain:portnumber

But anyway, why don't you run the MSI version? it's far better. If you don't have MS installer (it comes with WinXP and Win2000), you can get it here

It appears that was the incorrect URL for MS installer. You can get it at Activestate.com instead. -- Regards, Helgi Briem helgi AT decode DOT is	[reply]

I'm confused as to why I would need to set the PPM HTTP Proxy to successfully install the product? That aside, I am behind an NTLM firewall so I can't, currently, make use of the Internet fetching features. Thanks :) SP	[reply]
