proxy prevents ppm to access ActiveState Package Repository

When you're trying to install packages with Perl Package Manager (ppm) in a Windows environment a proxy will block the connection to it's repository. 

Avoid this by setting the environmental variable HTTP_PROXY like this: 

set http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy.net:8080
