To get PPM past the proxy, you'll need to set the env var to something like this:
SET HTTP_proxy=http://yourproxyserver.yourcompany.com:8000 Also, I'm assuming you're using ActiveState Perl (you didn't say). In at least one release, I recall having problems with the PPM repository settings that came pre-configured with their PPM tool. I found that the PPM settings didn't match the good values in their documentation. If you have trouble connecting to a repository, see if you have the same problem, and if needed, use the PPM repository command to make changes. -----Original Message----- From: Jared Still [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 6:05 AM To: Samant Kumar Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Cannot Install DBD ORacle in Win Xp On Sat, 2007-03-24 at 00:56 +0530, Samant Kumar wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to install DBD Oracle from a very long time now.
