I didn't notice or use a bundle.  CPANPLUS will handle dependencies they
say, but I just kept grabbing modules until it shut up.

# 1. What might cause IO::Socket::INET->new to fail?
# I *am* directly connected to the Internet, so the first warning is
probably caused by a proxy problem. 

No, you are not directly connected. ( Try a traceroute to find out just
how indirect you are ;-)
 
Assuming this is on the FMN internal network, you are on a private NAT'd
subnet whose firewall/gateways require proxy connection for port80
traffic.  So yes, you do need to set the proxies :

 FTP_PROXY=...
 HTTP_PROXY=...

and no, those will not make the Makefile think you're directly
connected.  Those are used by LWP::, for HTTP: and FTP: schemes, but not
by raw IO::Socket::INET, which tested if you were DIRECTLY connected.
The LPW Proxy scheme probably uses IO::Socket::INET to connect to the
proxy.

If you have those proxies set, you can probably let the Makefile.PL
create those tests anyway.
