Like I said, unlikely story 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict; use warnings;
use LWP;
use WWW::Mechanize;
for my $class ( qw/ LWP::UserAgent WWW::Mechanize /){
    my $ua  = $class->new;
    warn "$ua\n";
    $ua->show_progress( 1 );
    $ua->proxy( [ qw{ http https } ] => q{http://127.6.6.6} );
    $ua->get( q{http://example.com} );
}
__END__
