With a recent cpan install, when I try to do a module install with
cpan, Net::FTP goes to do a fetch and the program just hangs.

The same FTP command with, say, ncftp from the same box works fine and
instantly.

Anyone else have this problem?

Which program?
Where is the code?
Have you checked "$ftp->message"?

The problem might be router/firewall related.
Your local ftp client might be configured to use passive ftp.

Try
$ftp=Net::FTP->new(HOST,
[your stuff here,]
Passive => '1')

I am talking about the actual automated cpan install program itself (I
really wish they had called it something else!)...

cpan> install LWP
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Sat, 26 Feb 2005 19:48:34 GMT
LWP not available
LWP not available
CPAN: Net::FTP loaded ok
Fetching with Net::FTP:
ftp://ftp.sonic.net/mirrors/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz

And it just freezes there - FYI as I mentioned I have absolutely no
problems ftping to this remote host and getting the file mentioned by
hand in less then a few seconds...
