When I run "cpan force install Alien::wxWidgets", it can't connect to sourceforge.net
Error message stated:
Fetching wxWidgets... fetching from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWidgets- +3.0.2.tar.bz2 Fetch failed! HTTP response: 500 Internal Server Error [500 Can't conn +ect to svwh.dl.sourceforge.net:443] at inc/My/Build/Base.pm line 306. Fetch failed!

I can put http://svwh.dl.sourceforge.net into my Intenet Explorer and open that page, but cannot reach that target server when running "cpan force install Alien::wxWidgets "
