Hi folks, I have a machine which can't seem to use ftp through LWP or LibNet, but can when I just use the ftp command line program. If I try to use the interactive automatic CPAN it just sits there waiting for the config files to download
eg this doesn't work, lwp-download ftp://ftp.plig.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz but I can simply ftp ftp.plig.org and get the relevant file. Any suggestions on how to gain more info to debug this system? It is a RedHat 7.1 system. I've had a look at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Net/Config.pm and I can't see anything obvious like entering in a non existant proxy or similar. Sorry for asking a perl question on this list. I must be getting sloppy. Alex McLintock Openweb Analysts Ltd, London.
