Did you try setting your 'http_proxy' environment variable to 'http://proxy:port'? That's the standard way for LWP scripts.	[reply]

True, but the script needs to be told to use the proxy. For pm_login, add this line between lines 18 and 24: `$ua->proxy( 'http', $ENV{ HTTP_PROXY } ) if $ENV{ HTTP_PROXY };` [download] I'm sure similar additions can be made to each script that needs it to add proxy functionality. -- Love justice; desire mercy.

You shouldn't need to do this. The module automatically calls `$ua->env_proxy;` You should need merely to `export http_proxy=http://host:port` or `setenv http_proxy http://host:port` You might want to retrieve the latest version, too. It has some nice new features. jdporter ...porque es dificil estar guapo y blanco.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You're right of course, you do need to tell the UserAgent to use the proxy, but if you use the standard variable names (all lower case) then you simply say: `$ua->env_proxy;`	[reply] [d/l]


Do you know where your variables are?
