If it failed. It could be due to Internet connectivity problem.
The alternative is to download the PROPER package and install it from local location.

Be cautious that it may take a while for the url to be fully loaded.
Do not download the package from cpan.uwinnipeg.ca where there is no proper ppd file and also the file is not built for Windows platform.
so extract the zip file into a temp folder (i.e c:\temp) and install Email-MIME-ContentType using
ppm install c:\temp\Email-MIME.ContentType.ppd
Once Email-MIME-ContentType.ppd is successfully installed, proceed to install Email-MIME-Modifier.
