Ftp works, your use isn't as you expected.

As for CPAN, which perl are you using?  The native ActiveState or the one
from msysDTK?  Perhaps the issue is with perl instead of ftp?

Try:  ftp -n ftp.perl.org

You will see that it does not prompt for the User/Password.  One *DOES*
need to be supplied with the USER/PASS ftp commands.  So if you type
anonymous when asked for the user name does it work?
