I have what seemed to me at first, a very simple question that would seemingly (and may still have) a trivial solution. However, I cannot find the information for this question anywhere-- I am making a simple cgi script that retrieves webpages written in PERL. I wanted to fetch them through a proxy server for the heck of it, but could not find out how. I've looked all over and the problem became more and more annoying to a point now that I HAVE to find the solution soon to keep my sanity. ! :) I figured it would be something simple such as add the proxy addr and port somewhere in the header, but I can't find any information about it of course. THe script works without proxys, that's not a problem. Just need the snippits that will allow a proxy connection and I'll be a happy camper. I never looked at the DBI:proxy module and don't know if this will help. It may be the solution i'm avoiding, just looking for the simple answer.
