Re^3: running perl scripts behind a university wireless network

Did you even read Errto's reply?

You need to set the environment variable http_proxy, and ftp_proxy for the FTP protocol.

It seems like you are not allowed to contact the internet directly - most likely you are already unbeknownst using a proxy. What's in your IE settings? Is the "automatically detect proxy settings" checkbox set?

Why don't you follow my advice and ask the wireless network admins for the proxy settings?

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

You have been told that by Errto in a previous reply. Open a cmd window and do `C:\> set http_proxy=http://proxy.abdn.ac.uk:8080/ C:\> set ftp_proxy=http://proxy.abdn.ac.uk:8080/ C:\> my_script.pl` [download] Note that the trailing slash (`/`) is mandatory. --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo. G°\ / /\_¯/(q / ---------------------------- \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."· ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}	[reply] [d/l] [select]
