A student in today's class is wondering if it's possible to use CPAN or CPANPLUS
from behind firewalls that don't allow FTP traffic. I know that curl and lynx can
be used to download the indices, but I don't know if any non-FTP protocols like
these are usable for downloading the actual modules. What's the story?
TIA,
-Tim
