Ncftp or wget works fine, once the endless timeout wait is over.
I found this on a perl list, but it's not working for me.
I'm using perl 5.6 on OSX.
Suggestions?
With perl 5.8 having libnet as standard and the generally appalling state of firewalls and default configurations, it can be irritating when CPAN spends 5 minutes trying Net::FTP when if it had tried, say, wget it would have been over quickly.
Quick solution:
'dontload_hash' => { 'Net::FTP' => 1 },
in your CPAN/Config.pm (or wherever you keep your config)
