Re^2: installing modules with XS on Windows 64-bit

The cpan shell gets stuck on "fetching with LWP" so I was downloading it, unpacking, etc. without cpan. Although I set the http_proxy variable, it still won't work. Using Firefox I don't have to type any kind of password to get out, so I'm at a loss.

Is there a way to tell CPAN to use the tar.gz files I've downloaded already?

Unpack the dist, cd into it and "cpan ." It works on later CPANs. -Paul	[reply]

Still no joy in Mudville, I'm afraid. It still tries to go online for authors/01mailrc.txt.gz. If I say "no", it continues with: `CPAN: YAML::XS loaded ok (v0.26) Alert: While trying to 'parse' YAML file 'C:\Perl64\cpan\FTPstats.yml' with 'YAML::XS' the following error was encountered: Usage: YAML::XS::LibYAML::Load(yaml_str) at C:\Perl64\lib/YAML/XS.pm + line 70.` [download] That's trying to install the later ExtUtils::MakeMaker. —John	[reply] [d/l]
