Hi all,
For some reason cpan cannot get any modules using LWP or Net::FTP, only cftp succeeds. Is there a way to get the cpan command to only try using ncftp and not bother with the other two? It is trying them first with all the mirrors I have set up, so installing a module takes very long.
Also, how do I install DBD::mysql?? It is trying to connect as root with no password during the tests, which of course fails.
Many thanks in advance,
_nmk

I have installed DBI with no problems, DBD::mysql has trouble.
Also, LWP is up to date.
More ideas?

pretty sure i managed to do it, back in 10.1, but i had a ton of trouble getting things to behave. with subsequent builds, i've just downloaded from http://search.cpan.org and saved myself the bother

One common problem with CPAN is that your FTP transfers may not be happening in passive mode, and thus they might be blocked by a firewall. If you haven't already I'd recommend setting the environment variable FTP_PASSIVE to 1: that is,
setenv FTP_PASSIVE=1
if you're using tcsh, or maybe
export FTP_PASSIVE=1
if you've switched to bash or zsh.
Best of luck,
Paul

As far as DBI goes, I wouldn't have any idea how to change the default user for tests but who cares about tests? Just do a force install and test it with usage.
