Hi JesusPresley
Are you exporting the proxy variables as a user and then installing as root or with sudo escaleted to root ? In that case it wouldn't work. Best thing is to change to root, export the variables and run the installer. In any case you can double check/modify the CPAN variables here:
/root/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm
These are the correct settings for a non proxy setup :
'ftp_proxy' => q[]
'http_proxy' => q[]
works in fedora 16.
