Hi.
I'm a new Perl programmer and CPAN user.
Here's my problem:
When I try to use CPAN to fetch something, all the normal mechanisms
time out, and then I get down to ncftpget, which works.
I'm not behind a firewall, so I would have thought that LWP would work
(as a matter of fact, I've written Perl scripts using LWP that run on
this machine and work fine).
I'd like to know why the first fetch methods fail, but I'd settle for
being able to configure CPAN to use ncftpget immediately...
I've read CPAN.pm and don't see anything obvious.
Insights?
Thanks,
TJIC
