Should Net:Ftp be able to use my "ftp_proxy" set in the
environment?
Note that you need to set "ftp_firewall" if you have a true FTP
firewall, or more likely if you're setting something like
ftp_proxy=http://proxy:3128/, then you actually need to talk *HTTP*
to the proxy. Net::FTP can't do that itself, but LWP should DTRT
once it's installed.
