When configuring CPAN to utilize a proxy to reach the internet (and the
CPAN archive), the connection will fail if NTLM authentication is used by
the proxy.
Specifically when fetching with LWP:
The keep_alive option must be enabled for NTLM authentication to work.
NTLM authentication aborted.
Perhaps a configuration option could be added to CPAN to enable keep_alive
for LWP?
Thanks!
