tobias_hofer has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

I want to use cpan.bat for easy updating my perl. The internet access is only possible by proxy which is set by a configuration script. However, its not possible to simply connect to cpan. Is it possible to set the proxy settings somehow?

Best regards!
Tobias
