in reply to PPM wont work

Add lines similar to the following at the top of C:\Perl\bin\ppm.bat (or wherever you have it installed)
set http_proxy=http://<YourProxy Server Address here>:<Proxy Server Po +rt Here> set http_proxy_user=<Your UserName Here> set http_proxy_pass=<Your Password Here>
Or if that is unclear:
set http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8080 set http_proxy_user=shreya set http_proxy_pass=Proxy_Password


I hope this helps...
