I am trying to install a Perl module within Strawberry Perl on Windows 7.
I'm running the below command and am getting a slew of messages I don't understand. It looks like I am getting 500 errors, as though the page isn't reachable. However, when I point the mirrors in my browser I have no problem accessing the FTP directories. I have little Perl experience on Linux, and none on Windows. I tried manually adding a mirror to the urllist, and I don't think that helped.

As a last resort we now switch to the external ftp command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\ftp.EXE'
to get 'C:\strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\01mailrc.txt.gz.tmp5264'.
Doing so often leads to problems that are hard to diagnose.
If you're the victim of such problems, please consider unsetting the
ftp config variable with
o conf ftp ""
o conf commit
Issuing "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ftp.EXE -n"
