wget is used by CPAN to install perl modules -- but my just installed
version (1.7.1) fails with the error "Invalid PORT". So I try wget
manually for example

wget ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/xsim.tar.Z

this gives

Connecting to ftp.cs.washington.edu:21... connected!
Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in!
==> SYST ... done. ==> PWD ... done.
==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD /pub ... done.
==> PORT ...
Invalid PORT.

How to fix?
