Well, I had in mind to let my program connect to a server through a proxy.

For this, im using LWP::UserAgent. 
Though my problem is that regardless of what proxy I use, I cant connect out.
If I "remove" the proxy, everything works fine, but not with it.

I believe the problem has something to do with the "no_proxy" definiation.


$ua->proxy('http', 'http://my.proxy.com:80/');

$ua->no_proxy('proxy.com');


Anyone have any idea of what Im doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
