Hello all, Has anyone used or is using Andreas Koenig's excellent little program for downloading and installing perl modules? I'm having a little trouble getting it to work because I am also a Linux newbie. The problem is that I can't get the files via ftp - I have to go through a firewall (SQUID) and ncftp doesn't support it. I have no idea if the other ftp programs do and have been trying to find out with no luck. Whenever ncftp or ftp is used by the module I get "connect: No route to host". The man pages for ftp talks about a preferences file called ".netrc" located in the home directory, but I can't find it. O.K. so this question isn't technically a perl question, but some of you may have had some experience with the CPAN module or know of some helpful resources somewhere. Geraint Jones.
