in reply to Unable to Install HTTP::Proxy
From the HTTP proxy POD:
This module does not work under Windows, but I can't see why, and do not have a development platform under that system. Patches and explanations very welcome. I guess it is because fork() is not well supported.
Despite Perl's windows fork emulation, *nix forking idioms do not port easily or well to Windows. It is unlikely there will be a fix for this any time soon.
If you are using Windows, you need to look for a different solution to your proxying needs.
