Are you starting CPAN form the command line on a *nix mahcine or are you using PPM on a windows machine? You can for both setup environment variables and or configuration that lets you hand the credentials to the proxy server. For CPAN as I'm using that in the office where I have the same problem with the proxy server, I have the following setup: ftp_proxy [http://user:passw...@proxy.company.com:8080] http_proxy [http://user:passw...@proxy.company.com:8080] no_proxy [http://user:passw...@proxy.company.com:8080] You can get to the configuration by typing: *o conf *on the CPAN command line For PPM I cannot remember how to do this it has been more then 10 years since I played with PPM on my computer, but I'm sure that you can find this information on the activestate website.
