Hi there, i have perl 5.6 on my laptop am i want to download some modules from CPAN but all attempts i have made have failed giving me such errors, some help.
C:\>perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9600) Enter 'h' for help. cpan> install DBD::mysql Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz LWP failed with code[500] message[Can't connect to cpan.strawberryperl.com:80 (c onnect: timeout)] Warning: no success downloading 'C:\strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\01mailrc.txt .gz.tmp2760'. Giving up on it. Warning: no success downloading 'C:\strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\01mailrc.txt .gz.tmp2760'. Giving up on it. As a last resort we now switch to the external ftp command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ ftp.EXE' <ftp://ftp.exe'/> to get 'C:\strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp2760'. Doing so often leads to problems that are hard to diagnose. If you're the victim of such problems, please consider unsetting the ftp config variable with o conf ftp "" o conf commit Fetching with LWP: http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz LWP failed with code[500] message[Can't connect to cpan.strawberryperl.com:80 (c onnect: timeout)] Warning: no success downloading 'C:\strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\01mailrc.txt .gz.tmp2760'.
