does it mean that surely it is some proxy or firewall issue.
i have got a proxy file .pac file through which firefox connnects outside and from that I have seen what is the relevant proxy server I can use and I used that and the HTTP_PROXY variable, still i am unable to connect outside.
I know that it has become a non-perl issue, but any help is appreciated
