in reply to Cannot install HTTP::Proxy under Strawberry Perl 5.10.0.3

. Do you have an idea what goes wrong here or how I can further analyze this?

First I would dump %INC and see if I could upgrade any modules ( compare with cpanp  o):

# you add to 22http.t, after the last use statement BEGIN { for my $k (sort keys %INC ){ my $kk = $k; $kk =~ s/.pm$//; $kk =~ s~/~::~g; # print join "\n", $k, $INC{$k},"\n"; printf "%8s %s\n", UNIVERSAL::VERSION($kk), $kk; } print "\n"; } __END__ 1..5 5.67 AutoLoader C:::strawberry::perl::lib::auto::Storable::autosplit.ix 1.08 Carp Config Config_heavy.pl 3.2701 Cwd 1.08 DynaLoader 1.1 Errno 5.62 Exporter 5.62 Exporter::Heavy 1.06 Fcntl 3.2701 File::Spec 3.2701 File::Spec::Unix 3.2701 File::Spec::Win32 2.01 FileHandle 5.818 HTTP::Daemon 5.810 HTTP::Date 5.818 HTTP::Headers 5.817 HTTP::Headers::Util 5.818 HTTP::Message 0.23 HTTP::Proxy HTTP::Proxy::Engine HTTP::Proxy::FilterStack HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::standard 5.818 HTTP::Request 5.818 HTTP::Response 5.817 HTTP::Status 1.23_01 IO 1.14 IO::File 1.27 IO::Handle 1.1 IO::Seekable 1.17 IO::Select 1.30_01 IO::Socket 1.31 IO::Socket::INET 1.23 IO::Socket::UNIX 5.819 LWP 5.810 LWP::ConnCache LWP::Debug 5.810 LWP::MediaTypes LWP::MemberMixin 5.819 LWP::Protocol 5.819 LWP::UserAgent 1.01 SelectSaver 1.80 Socket 2.18 Storable 1.06 Symbol 1.11 Sys::Hostname 0.84 Test::Builder 0.84 Test::Builder::Module 0.84 Test::More 1.1901 Time::Local 1.37 URI 3.29 URI::Escape 0.34 Win32 0.08 XSLoader 1.03 blib 1.13 constant 1.00 integer 1.06 overload 1.04 strict t::Utils 1.01 vars 1.06 warnings 1.01 warnings::register ok - Got an answer (200) ok - Got an answer (301) ok - Got an answer (404) ok - Served the correct number of requests ok - Got an answer (500)
After that I'd check for any windows updates, after that I'd try using http://www.wireshark.org/ to see if I could figure it out.

22http.t had worked for me about a dozen times, but then it started hanging. I restarted "dhcp client" (start services.msc or issue net stop "dhcp client" then net start "dhcp client"), and it went back to working again. On the other hand, 90diveintomark.t always hang after "ok 1", no matter what I do.

ok 1 - 200.xml => 200 # hangs for a few minutes not ok 2 - 220.xml => 220 # Failed test '220.xml => 220' # at t\90diveintomark.t line 93. # got: '500' # expected: '220' # hangs for a few minutes here too # Failed test '320.xml => 320' # at t\90diveintomark.t line 93. # got: '500' # expected: '320'
It seems like for me its related to my ISP's intermittent routing/DNS issues, which they eventually fix (takes a whole day sometimes).

    I used wireshark and filtered for dhcp related entries but could not find anything suspicious, but I must admit I do not have any experience using this tool.

    I will try to install HTTP::Proxy at home, too and see if I can spot any differences to the behaviour at work.
