in reply to running remote perl scripts

You mention PPM so I assume ActiveState on Windows. The proxy shouldn't cause you any issues - I'm behind a proxy and PPM works fine.

You will need to set an environment variable with the proxy information.

From the command line (cmd.exe)

{C} > set http_proxy=http://proxy.server.com:8080

Where

http://proxy.server.com:8080
is the address/hostname and port of your proxy server.

To make this permanent - usable everytime you launch cmd.exe, use:

  1. Right-click "My Compter"
  2. Select "Properties" menu item
  3. Select "Advanced" tab
  4. Press "Environment Variables" button
  5. Under the "System Variables" section, press "New" button
  6. Enter "http_proxy" (without the double quotes) in the "Variable name" text box
  7. Enter the proxy server address/hostname and port from above in the "Variable value" text box
  8. Press "OK" button on the "New User Variable" window
  9. Press "OK" button on the "Environment Variables" window
  10. Press "OK" button on the "System Properties" window

    Great info! Sometimes some machines are not able to connect to the internet even via a proxy. This case is similar to a standalone machine. But there is still a way! Latest versions of ppm can install a *.ppd file. type: ppm help install at the command prompt for details. Basically if all else fails, get the appropriate .ppd file to the machine via "sneaker net" or whatever and use the command line install of that .ppd file.
