in reply to Access the Internet though a Proxy with Perl

LWP::UserAgent documentation includes a description of how to configure proxy support.

$ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'], 'http://proxy.sn.no:8001/'); $ua->proxy('gopher', 'http://proxy.sn.no:8001/');

    Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I should have made my initial post clearer (but was trying to keep it brief in case I was wasting people's time).

    I have been able to configure proxy support and tested it by referencing a proxy that does not require authentication.

    Unfortunately the 'production' script will not sit as I do in a DMZ but in a 'production' network where the only Internet access is through the aforementioned and troublesome proxy.

    I use "production" in a sense that colourfully described would see me branded as horizontally challenged-ist.
