add parameter --http-proxy=

[mishin]

for example in ruby you can install gem with
gem install yaml-lint --http-proxy=http://username:password@proxy-server.com:3128
so I want to install perl module with
cpan Moo --http-proxy=http://username:password@proxy-server.com:3128

[mishin]

sometimes I'm very lazy to tune cpan and
cpan
cpan> o conf init /proxy/
Your ftp_proxy? [] ftp://username:password@proxy-server.com:3128
Your http_proxy? [] http://username:password@proxy-server.com:3128
Your no_proxy? []
so I could overwrite my proxy with simple clause
cpan Moo --http-proxy=http://username:password@proxy-server.com:3128
it give me a big change to make my work faster

I figure an environment variable would suit you much better. As it is, cpan doesn't do -- switches.

[mishin]

well, env variable - ok, thanks

Also, cpan can load different configuration files with the -j switch.
