Feeling tired and lazy I didn't go through the doco, but from the code it
doesn't look like you can. You may be able to with CPANPLUS though...
If you're using CPAN version 1.59_54 then this ought to do it. If you're
using some other version then you get the picture. If you don't want to do
it in such an inelegant fashion, I don't blame you.

Of course, that makes it *always* passive.

Subject: SPUG: CPAN & passive ftp?
So, I've been having all sorts of weird behaviour with CPAN on my
MacOS X box at home, and I suddenly realized what I think the problem
is: my firewall setup requires that I do all my ftp'ing in passive
mode. I've looked through the CPAN configuration options, and can't
seem to find anything that would tell it to do it's ftp'ing
passively. Is there a way to do this?
