I tried ppm upgrade LWP But that returns "no upgrades available for LWP" Having the upgrade through this utility qwould eb the best option perl -V:make returns "nmake" nmake gave errors where it said it couldn't find Program Files - I replaced all "Program Files" mention in the makefile with Progra~1 Next step nmake failed as follows `E:\ovXtras\libwww-perl-5.831\libwww-perl-5.831>nmake Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94. All rights reserved. 'E:\ovXtras\libwww-perl-5.831\libwww-perl-5.831\0' is not recognized a +s an inter nal or external command, operable program or batch file. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' : return code + '0x1' Stop.` [download] This path occurs in the makefile only once, as follows: `FULLPERL = 0 ABSPERL = E:\ovXtras\libwww-perl-5.831\libwww-perl-5.831\0` [download] And this "0" file doesn't even exist. Now I don't know how to troubleshoot this.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Try forcing it `ppm install LWP --force` [download] I don't use ppm often so I'm not sure if that command is correct. nmake gave errors where it said it couldn't find Program Files - I replaced all "Program Files" mention in the makefile with Progra~1 You can install perl into "program files", but you have to police your path/config, see Changing Perl Config settings, example `C:\>echo echo %~s1 >shortpath.bat C:\>call shortpath.bat "C:\Program Files\Perl\bin\perl.exe" C:\PROGRA~1\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:\>C:\PROGRA~1\Perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL C:\>set path=C:\PROGRA~1\Perl\bin\perl.exe;%path C:\>perl Makefile.PL` [download] For future reference, its better if you copy/paste error messages .

I faced the same issue on Windows , cpan was throwing the same error messages . I would recommend following things when configuring http_proxy setting . 1. Never modify the CPAN/config.pm module instead modify the local copy present in C:/Users/user_name/APPData/local. 2. Configure Environment variable http_proxy properly. Key : http_proxy value : http://proxy_address:port 3. Even after setting the proxy env if it doesnt work try deleting the local copy of config.pm , it might have been miss configured.	[reply]
