Hello all I used to be able to use CPAN (only a week or so ago) but now it seems to time out. I thought it might be a network / firewall type thing but I can use ncftp ok. See below ...
$ cpan Perl::Tokenizer CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /home/wardmm/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Tue, 23 Sep 2003 00:45:53 GMT Going to read /home/wardmm/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok Fetching with LWP: ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz LWP failed with code[400] message[FTP return code 000] Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz Couldn't fetch 02packages.details.txt.gz from ftp.planetmirror.com Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan.nas.nasa.gov/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz LWP failed with code[400] message[FTP return code 000] Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://cpan.nas.nasa.gov/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz Couldn't fetch 02packages.details.txt.gz from cpan.nas.nasa.gov Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan.llarian.net/pub/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz (and so on --- had to can it) (but i can get the file ok ... ?? ) $ ncftpget ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz Who are you? You have a user id number of 4012, but no username associated with it. 02packages.details.txt.gz: 237.34 kB 3.11 kB/s Does anyone have an idea what is going on here? Or what I could try? I'm a long-term cygwin user but I don't really know what's going on underneath.
