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/

Yep.Net::FTP can't do that itself, but LWP should DTRT once it's installed.
=== Yeah, was having trouble getting LWP to install on a cygwin build. They've changed directory structures since they started and that messed some things up with me having old config values in MyConfig-- and I still can't get Win32 to build on cygwin-on-Win32 (I just wanted to play with the registry).
Might it not be "useful" if Net::FTP could use an ftp_proxy, transparently, if one was set in the environment?
Rumor has it that it is fixed "next release" of Win32...
I was thinking it might be nice to have the Win32 modules build on linux for use in Wine type environments...
Unlike most people in the linux world, I don't think the concept of a single per-user/per system registry would be a bad thing if done right -- all the little config files/rc files sitting around on volumes with large allocation block sizes and wasting a large amount of filespace... If done "right", could make moving setups between systems easier...
