Unable to install module using cpan
Hi,

I am unable to install module using cpan. It says 407 Proxy Authentication Required

Quote:
CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok (v5.835)
CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9719)
Warning: no success downloading '/root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp15836'. Giving up on it. at /usr/share/perl/5.10/CPAN/Index.pm line 225
Fetching with LWP:
http://www.perl.org/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
LWP failed with code[407] message[Proxy Authentication Required]
I did setup proxy server and given username and password in .bashrc file and apt.conf file.

Code:
export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:portno/

However, still unable to install module. Please suggest.

Thanks

Try to setup your CPAN to register the proxy and user/password
Code:
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan[1]> o conf init /proxy/
...
 <http_proxy>
Your http_proxy? [] 
...
Your proxy user id? [] 
Your proxy password?
...
cpan[2]> o conf commit
