in reply to using http::record if inside fire wall

So you need to use a proxy ($foo) to be able to reach the internet because of your firewall? If that's the case, just supply HTTP::Proxy with a LWP::UserAgent object configured to use $foo.

update: Why did you comment out #$agent->proxy('http', "real-proxy");? It sounds to me like that's what you're missing, but I can't really be sure (your description of what's going on isn't very clear).

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Thats correct, because of firewall I added
    $agent->proxy('http', "real-proxy");
    I did tried with above line uncommented but it does't work, I mean doesn't connect to internet.
    thanks

        Hi All, Yea!! its working. Ok I did two changes.
        1. I changed port from default(8080) to some other, just incase I was running something else on that port.
        2. I changed line from
        $agent->proxy('http', "real-proxy"); To $agent->proxy('http', "http://real-proxy");
        I think second change did the trick. Thank you all very much for your sugession. regards Vinay
