Whenever I try to do something on CPAN and it tries to download a file

trying to get the file with LWP and Net::FTP, it takes about 5 minutes

downloads it with lynx.
It sounds like you are getting a connect timeout. Try setting the
FTP_PASSIVE environment to 1
Graham.
Error messages
LWP: LWP failed with code[400] message [FTP return code 000]
Net::FTP: Couldn't fetch 02packages.details.txt.gz from ftp.perl.org
Has anyone else had this or know how to fix it, as I am guessing it
isn't normal?
Thanks,
