Is this proxy filtering based on user agent or on program, or do you just need to configure the software to use the proxy?

There's the agent() method for LWP::UserAgent. It doesn't wrap a specific Windows DLL but it does allow you to set your UserAgent string to whatever you want.

If you just need to configure your user agent to use the proxy, there are proxy attributes for LWP::UserAgent, too.

There's WWW::Selenium which is designed to test things using the Selenium suite (see also Alien::Selenium). That uses Firefox or IE to connect and retrieve pages. A quick search of CPAN also shows a few modules I've never used that may help by actually using Internet Explorer to access things.:
