Hi, I have tried load some Perl Modules using CPAN.. but I can't make
it work.

fyi, curl "http://..." works on the command line perfectly. (just so
that you know the internet connection is all ok.

this is what i see on the cpan.. when i do install... what can i do to
fix this issue.

I use Windows 7, Cygwin, Cpan with all the Perl Stuff installed...
wget, lynx, curl, ftp, and all the required stuff are there.

Thank you so much.. I have no idea about CPAN.pm.

earlier i accepted the defaults (auto configure).

and i didn't know how i can go back to set all those thing again.. and
I read from elsewhere to do this:

cpan> o conf init

and went through all the steps.. and put in several mirrors from
here.. closer to my country.
http://www.cpan.org/SITES.html

and it works perfectly now.

Thank you.
