Re^2: Proxy server thwarts installation of DBI on Win32

[etm117]

I voted this ++ and noticed after my vote, it still had -2... so I had to follow-up.

Please see this comp.lang.perl.misc discussion and try and use the HTTP_Proxy variables again. But if that doesn't work the 3rd post down in the link will work. I have the same issues at work and this is exactly how I accomplish getting DBI installed on my local machine (for bare-bones testing of simple scripts, we have AIX machines for dev/test/QA/prod environments).

Hi etm117,
Read the thread at comp.lang.perl.misc. The instructions as presented there did not work. In fact I see no reason to expect those instructions to work. Why would just downloading the ppd file to your PC automatically change the way PPM works, as is implied in the instructions?

Still Frustrated.
