in thread I am not able to install Oracle DBD on Windows 2000 / Perl 5.8.X behind a proxy server

Either set the environment variables on the command line (as noted in another reply) before starting PPM, or add them in the "My Computer" properties. When you open a new DOS window, the new environment variables will be in effect.

    I know this sounds stupid, but why didn't ActiveState include in their PPM FAQ that you have to reopen any DOS windows after you add this. I made the change like it said to take the proxy server into effect, but until I read this, I didn't think to close the DOS window down and reopen it.
