I am creating a docker image via dockerfile.
...
RUN dnf install -y cpan perl perl-core perl-App-cpanminus make
RUN cpan Config::Properties
...
I require to install a CPAN library (Config::Properties) but my system is behind the proxy and therefore system is unable to install it.
Fetching with HTTP::Tiny:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
HTTP::Tiny failed with an internal error: Could not connect to 'www.cpan.org:80': Connection timed out
I found that this can be fixed by configuring a proxy for CPAN, like (https://stackoverflow.com/a/46859266/1690588)
$ cpan # to open cpan shell
cpan[1]> o conf http_proxy "host:port"
cpan[2]> o conf commit
cpan[3]> q
BUT how can I do this inside dockerfile. Please suggest. Thank you!
