If I understand correctly, you've observed that fink's install procedure for libnet-pm doesn't work properly unless you go offline, whereas a direct CPAN install of the same package does not require going offline.
Tracking down the reason for that would involve examining the fink build procedure for the package and comparing it to what CPAN does. There isn't anything like a simple "setting" which controls this, unless someone has programmed it in (which to the best of my knowledge hasn't happened). You might want to file this as a bug report against the libnet-pm package. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
