LPM: using CPAN behind a firewall

[Wesley Sheldahl]

I just started a contract at Lexmark, and am having trouble getting `perl
-MCPAN -e shell` to work from behind their firewall.  IE and Netscape work
as long as they're pointed to the proxy server, but setting my "http_proxy"
and "ftp_proxy" environment variables to the same name, or equiv. IP
address, doesn't seem to help CPAN find any of its servers.  Any ideas? 
Anyone know of of a CPAN mirror behind the firewall?  (Of course I can use
a browser to download modules over the web one at a time and install
manually, but that seems last-resortish now...)

TIA,
