in reply to LWP and proxies

Is there a way to use more then one proxy or maybe even rotating proxies?

By "more than one" do you mean a chain of proxies? That'd be rather difficult. Even browsers don't support chains (except when only the first proxy in the chain is visible, and the rest are automagic).

Rotating through a set of proxies should be too difficult. All you need to do is remember which you used last (or, alternatively, which one to use next), then invoke

$ua->proxy('http', $proxy);
at the appropriate time (where $ua is an LWP::UserAgent, and $proxy is the URL of the proxy to use).

    thanks for the info. Now that you bring it up I guess I was looking for a way to rotate the proxies rather then use more then one at a time. I really need to watch the way I word things around here : )
