| I started seeing this error when I used CPAN to fetch stuff: | |
| Fetching with LWP: | |
| ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz | |
| LWP failed with code[400] message[FTP return code 000] | |
| Fetching with Net::FTP: | |
| ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz | |
| Couldn't fetch 02packages.details.txt.gz from ftp.planetmirror.com | |
| Fetching with LWP: | |
| ftp://cpan.nas.nasa.gov/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz | |
| LWP failed with code[400] message[FTP return code 000] | |
| Fetching with Net::FTP: | |

| The fix is simple but not particularly easy to track down. | |
| This is likely happening because you are behind a NAT or firewall, and you need to do ftp in passive mode. | |
| Find your perls libnet.cfg file: | |
| % locate libnet.cfg | |
| /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1/Net/libnet.cfg | |
| Edit that file and change the ftp_int_passive setting to 1. |
