Where did your Net::Config come from?  Graham added a function
"requires_firewall" one or two versions ago.  In your case, since you
don't have a firewall, a simple "sub requires_firewall {return 0;}" in
your Net::Config should suffice.  Or you can get the one out of a
recent Net::Config from the distribution, like I did.  If you do that,
you should set ftp_firewall =3D> undef.
