Hi Monks,
Am trying to hit a https - Vendor site using our proxy and trying to download a xls file, the scripting instructions are given by the Vendor themselves. Unfortunately am facing Error GETing : https://xxxxx :Attempt to reload LWP/Protocol/http.pm
I have the old version of perl installed in the machine where it is missing some modules, so I have extracted the latest in a folder along with necessary modules and created a dummy env file which am sourcing before running the script. 
use strict;
use File::Basename;
use Getopt::Long;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use URI qw( );

my $thisScript = basename($0);
print "==START $thisScript==\n";
my ($help, $proxy, $username, $password);
my $urlsToBeDownloaded = "file-url-list.txt";
my $url = "https:xxxxxxxxxxxxx";
usage() if (@ARGV < 2 or ! GetOptions('proxy:s' => \$proxy, 
                                      'username=s' => \$username, 
                                      'password=s' => \$password) 
                        or defined $help);

if ($username eq "" || $password eq "") {
        usage();
}

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
if($proxy ne ""){
    $mech->proxy(['http', 'https'], $proxy);    
}
$mech->get($url);

[download]
Am getting error right at this point I have another team who has implemented this automation successfully. Any knowledge or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
UMonk
