Re^4: Problem installing module through cpan on Windows ActivePerl

It gives me the following error, does PPM also use proxy to connect to internet like cpan, if yes, do i need to enter proxy details in ppm configuration as well?

C:\>ppm install mingw
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides mingw

C:\>ppm-shell
ppm 4.10 (ActivePerl 1007)

ppm> install mingw

Those settings. made correctly, do work. So the problem must be something local to your set-up. As such, it is impossible for us to diagnose the problem from here. You will have to consult someone locally, who understands your set-up to progress. Sorry.	[reply]

I have done the correct proxy setting in command prompt, but i am still getting the same error msg > Check the ActivePerl-faq2.html (especially the "PPM, Proxies and Firewalls" section). You'll find that file in your perl/html/faq folder. Perhaps there's something you've missed. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
