I can't seem to get CPAN installs working on a Solaris machine. Here is my current output.

~# perl -MCPAN -eshell
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.7601)
ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN')

cpan> install Bundle::LWP                 
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
LWP not available
CPAN: Net::FTP loaded ok
Fetching with Net::FTP:
  ftp://ftp.dti.ad.jp/pub/lang/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Couldn't fetch 01mailrc.txt.gz from ftp.dti.ad.jp
...
...

This output is repeated for every mirror. Any ideas why this doesn't work?
