In the manpage I find 

  ftp_proxy          proxy host for ftp requests
  http_proxy         proxy host for http requests
  proxy_user         username for accessing an authenticating proxy
  proxy_pass         password for accessing an authenticating proxy

I'm pretty sure that when you just say

cpan> o conf init /proxy/

that then you are asked all the questions with a bit of information in
the dialog itself.

If this is not enough, read the section in the FAQ about firewalls.
The FAQ is part of the manpage.

If this still is not enough, please ask again and let us know which
problems you encountered.
