It seems like every time I run across these "Yes you can use CPAN" threads you guys are basically encouraging someone to make a potentially career limiting move by circumventing company policies

Sorry, I can't let that stand as is. Neither Tanktalus suggest circumventing company policy, nor do I. I explicitly prefixed my advice with If the inability to download files is your biggest hurdle. If there is a policy against it, that's the biggest hurdle, not the inability to download files.

Showing solutions to technical limitations is hardly a career limiting move.

Granted, the OP is usually vague on this point, so what I would suggest is that you specifically ask about it first

Sorry, I think that's completely backwards. If somebody asks a question here, (s)he is supposed to invest some time and energy come up with a good, coherent and answerable question.

If the question shows some probable lack of knowledge, I think it's perfectly fine to give some pointers to resources that talk about the topic, or write something about it. It's the employee's job to know the company policies, regardless what somebody on the internet says.

I don't live in the US, and I won't print "warning, hot" on coffee cups.
