[NTLUG:Discuss] proxy definitions

[JM5379@sbcglobal.net]

i'm experimenting with a perl module (lwp:simple) with the
following commandline:

perl -MLWP::Simple -e "getprint 'http://cpan.org/RECENT'"

i'm going through a firewall and get the 500 error (paraphrased):

500 Can't connect to network.path.som:30080 (Bad hostname
'network.path.som') <URL:http://cpan.org/RECENT>

i entered .som instead of .com. i found bad entries in
/etc/profile.d/proxy.sh and .csh and corrected those but i'm
still getting the same error. is there another place that
mistyped name may be stored, or do i need to restart some part of
networking to reread those files? if so, which deamon/program?

thanks,
joe
