I blog about Perl.
Sounds like your firewall is blocking these accesses. Both strawberryperlcom and cpan.org are up and it's very unlikely they were both down at the same time when you tried.
I've seen this recently (last couple of months) as well - haven't gotten to the bottom of it though I'm afraid
Does http://cpan.strawberryperl.com load in browser?
Try services like http://downorjust.me/ to check connections.
I'm having the same problem here, with a previously working setup.
