anyone tried http-proxy on windows?

Hello,
Anyone tried to install and run http-proxy module on windows 2000 or
win-xp?

I gave it a try. The program hangs up. Any one had luck to get this
working on windows?

if any one interested, i found the problem. It is a call "fork" used
in the implementation of this module. On windows "fork" is implemented
with warning message "experimental". this module fails (hangs up) on
"fork" call.

Upgrade your perl, and if necessary your windows. I have had success
with fork emulation with 5.8 and WinXP.
