How to tell WWW::Mechanize to work with HTTPS proxy? I have this code: 
use WWW::Mechanize;

print "WWW::Mechanize: ", $WWW::Mechanize::VERSION, "\n";
print "LWP : ", $LWP::UserAgent::VERSION, "\n";

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();

$mech->proxy( [ 'http', 'https' ], "https://204.228.129.46:8080/" );

$mech->add_handler("request_send",  sub { shift->dump; return });
$mech->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return });

$mech->get("http://people.iu.edu/");
