ActivePerl comes with extensive HTML documentation, which should be
installed in your Start menu.I this documentation you will find a chapter
on 'Using PPM'. From the section 'PPM, Proxies and Firewalls', relevant
for Windows NT:
Right click on "My Computer", click on "Properties", select the
"Environment" tab. These are your environment settings. Make the
following changes:
Add the setting HTTP_proxy, with your proxy name as the value (you
must include "http://";), followed by a colon and the proxy port, if
applicable; e.g., "http://proxy:8080";
If you require a user name and/or password to access your proxy, add
the settings HTTP_proxy_user and HTTP_proxy_pass, with your user
name and password as the respective values.
