You can test this by using a tool like wget, curl or even telnet to try and
connect to the strawberry perl site from the command line.  It does look
like there's nothing Perl-ish wrong but network.

# wget http://cpan.strawberryperl.com/
[connect and download index.html page]

# telnet cpan.strawberryperl.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.0<enter>
<enter>

Hmm, from that result [1] appears cpan.strawberryperl is down, temporarily.
May not be your end that's the problem
