Sure. Will remove it now and try downloading it.

Unless your internet connection requires the use of a proxy server, which may be the case in a corp environment, then there is no need to set that environment variable.

Initially, I have added this to path variables, but I then removed it later. I have also unchecked the "Use a Proxy Server for your LAN" at Env Variables for IE. I tried to install the Wx from CPAN then, the following error is being thrown at console. Please look into this. Don't know where else I need to change the settings? Is this something related to the config file?

Do you get the same error when using ppm to install the module?

Have you checked your cpan config to see what, if any, proxy it's using? You check that by running the 'o conf' command at the cpan shell.

e.g.,

Code:

cpan> o conf

    commit             [Commit changes to disk]
    defaults           [Reload defaults from disk]

That is one of, if not the, problem.

Clear that value and see if you can then install the module.

Thank you so much. I did it, at last I can part-install the Wx in my system, but now it is throwing the error below. I have tried the ppm install Wx and ppm install Alien-wxWidgets. The console returns the message that no missing packages to install for both the modules.

What perl distro do you have installed?

Your prior post indicated that you were using activestate perl, this latest one indicate you're using strawberry perl. Do you have both installed on the same system? If so, that would be part of the problem.

On all of our machines, Active and Strawberry installed. Initially, I thought of removing the Active or Strawberry. But then, all of our machines are installed both for the convenience of the users. My system seems to pretty peculiar. It does not work. As it is an open source, our IT people told that we have to find solutions on our own. Rather our company depends on testing software with only Perl itself, so I am working the problems around instead of removing any of them.

Having both installed on a Windows system does not add convenience for your users. It add problems.

Since you can't install the module with either installation, it would appear that both are broken.

My recommendation is to completely remove both of them and only reinstall one of them using all of the defaults. Once you're at a working baseline, then we can move forward on the proper configuration for installing modules.

Absolutely True. You know actually, I have not noticed before that I have two instances of Strawberries on my machine. One installed in May, 2011 and another installed in June, 2012, which I am not aware of. I have removed both the instances of this distro. Hope this will resolve my issue.
