Hello Perl monks,

This is a repeat question... so please don't get annoyed for asking it again. I didn't understand the replies in the first thread ...so I am brining up the question again.

I connect to the internet via a proxy server. the proxy server is NOT NTLM ... I am sure because I am able to browse the web thru mozilla. if it was NTLM then only IE will work. My proxy server is also not SOCKS.

I suppose it is just a plain proxy server which needs loginid and password before it forwards the request out of our network.

I have searched many times google and this site ... but I cannot find how can I do this in perl.

In my search I was able to find a C# program which did the very same thing which I want. Please let me know how can I do the same thing in perl 

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;

public class TestNet
{
  public static void Main(string[] args) 
  {
    string url = "http://www.perlmonks.com";
    HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(url);     
+       
    WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("proxy.server.intranet:8080");
    proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "password");    
    req.Proxy = proxy;        
    HttpWebResponse resp = (HttpWebResponse) req.GetResponse();       
+     
    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream()); 
+   
    while(reader.Peek() > -1) 
    {
      Console.WriteLine(reader.ReadLine());
    }
    reader.Close();
    resp.Close();
  }
}

thanks.
Abhishek.
