PPM through Proxy (Activeperl / Activestate)

hi, i have just installed the latest Activeperl from activestate.com
and need to add some modules through PPM. I am behind a firewall and
forced to go through a proxy (IE Settings are Automatic Proxy
Configuration URL (something like http://server.domain.com/proxy.pac).

I am unable to install package through PPM surely because of this proxy
problem, how can I tell PPM to use the PROXY settings in IE or define
proxy URL manually in PPM?

ppm> install Net::Telnet
Error: No valid repositories:
Error: 500 Can't connect to ppm.ActiveState.com:80 (connect: Unknown
error)
Error: 500 Can't connect to ppm.ActiveState.com:80 (connect: Unknown
error)

by the way I have defined the Environment Variable in my Windows 2000
Professional box as described in aspn.activestate.com but no luck. As I
said, IE needs Automatic Proxy configuration URL along with a .pac file

please suggest.
