Please advise why my PPM doesnt want to work: 
PPM> install Net-Telnet
Install package 'Net-Telnet?' (y/N): y
Installing package 'Net-Telnet'...
Error installing package 'Net-Telnet': Could not locate a PPD file for
+ package N
et-Telnet

[download]
Same error for no matter what module I try and install. I also reinstalled ActivePerl, still get same error. Install said to check the following info if ppm doesnt work: 


If you are behind a firewall, you may need to set the following
environment variables so that PPM will operate properly:

    set HTTP_proxy=address:port         [e.g. 192.0.0.1:8080]
    set HTTP_proxy_user=username
    set HTTP_proxy_pass=password
    set HTTP_proxy_agent=agent          [e.g. "Mozilla/5.0"]

I am on an NT workstation and did the commands as listed above in DOS under \perl\bin directory but still cant get ppm to work. Same error messages. Am I suppose to issue commands in my DOS to set HTTP's and how do I find out what proxy agent I have? I put in "Mozilla/5.0" but not sure. I am latest Netscape browser.
