Re: installation via cpan/ftp problems for newbie

It might be a problem with passive FTP, could you try creating a file called .libnetrc in your home directory with:

{
   ftp_ext_passive => 1
}
[download]

to see if that fixes it?

Thanks---I'll try that. I am having lots of problems with Net::FTP. I posted another tale of woe at Net::FTP is NEVER successful The two requests for help may or may not be related. However, in this other post, I manage to get much further in tracking down the problem, and it's got nothing to do with passive FTP. I would be most grateful if anyone looking at this email would take a quick look at my other post. Thanks again David	[reply]
