Subject: Lots of (extraneous) warnings
When running CPANPLUS 0.045 a system that is behind a firewall (only a HTTP proxy is available), I always get the following bunch of warnings (for example, when reloading the index): Updating source file '02packages.details.txt.gz' Trying to get /pub/mirror/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz from download.xs4all.nl via ftp ftp creation failed: Net::FTP: Bad hostname 'download.xs4all.nl' in CPANPLUS::Internals::Fetch::_netftp_get at Thu Oct 30 14:17:12 2003 at /opt/perl-5.9.0/lib/site_perl/5.9.0/CPANPLUS/Internals/Fetch.pm line 558 Running [/usr/bin/ncftpget -V -p cpanplus@example.com download.xs4all.nl /var/spool/cpanplus /pub/mirror/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz]... command failed: download.xs4all.nl: unknown host. ncftpget: cannot open download.xs4all.nl: unknown host. in CPANPLUS::Internals::Fetch::_ncftpget_get at Thu Oct 30 14:17:12 2003 at /opt/perl-5.9.0/lib/site_perl/5.9.0/CPANPLUS/Internals/Fetch.pm line 746 Running [/usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp --quiet --execute passwd=cpanplus@example.com --output-document /var/spool/cpanplus/02packages.details.txt.gz ftp://download.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz]... What _is_ the right (best) way to run CPANPLUS through a firewall like this?

for the 0.04x series, install LWP, and follow LWP's docs to set http proxies and It Will Work Again (tm) In 0.05x you will be able to 'blacklist' certain tools to fetch files with, so you could just allow 'lwp' 'wget' and 'lynx' for example and skip the ftp tools
