Using the perl MCPAN shell with wget behind a proxy

I like using the perl CPAN shell for installing perl modules on redhat boxes. I ran into an instance where I had to install some perl modules on a server that was in a lab and had no direct internet access. Read on to find out how I got around this by setting up a ftp proxy.
appropriate Inline DIRECTORY
[ link: inline_directory | tags: perl linux apache | updated: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 12:12:08 -0400 ]
I was installing this vimblog software and ran into an issue where I was getting the following error in my apache httpd error logs.
[error] [client X.X.X.X] Couldn't find an appropriate DIRECTORY for Inline to use.
I was able to fix this by inserting the following into the "blog.pl" before the use statements.
BEGIN {
$ENV{'PERL\_INLINE\_DIRECTORY'} = '/var/www/localhost/htdocs/blog/.data';
}
This tells perl_inline where to write its compiled data. This directory must be owned by the user your webserver is running as.
