Re^9: Problem installing CPAN modules

I'm not sure why you think that ftp is relevant to the problem at hand.

Personally, I would look with a network sniffer like Wireshark at what (or whether) network traffic leaves the machine, and whether it tries to use the proxy or not.

Ftp - just to see that I can get to the outside world from the shell, not just the browser.	[reply]

That's weird, as you seem to want to set up a proxy, and `http` doesn't seem to work without the proxy either. Maybe you need to authenticate to the proxy or something. But this seems to be largely a network problem unrelated to Perl, as `wget` has the same problem and is not a Perl program. Consult with your network administrator as to which configuration is needed and what relevant data must be sent where.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
