Perl: ActiveState 5.6.1, OS: Windows 2000

Hi, I'm trying to get the contents of a webpage, but I can't get through my company's Microsoft Proxy server with Lwp::Useragent. The reason for this is that the Proxy server requires NTLM authentication. I am able to get around this problem if I install Winsock proxy client on my workstation or if I run the job from the proxy server. However, our Security Department wont allow this as a long term solution. I found a module called

Authen::NTLM

But, the documentation is geared towards IMAP. I also found some examples on this site, but I couldn't get it to work. I was hoping someone could point me to some good documentation for using Authen::NTLM with Lwp::Useragent or provide a simple example, such as...

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use Authen::NTLM;

ntlm_reset();
ntlm_domain(Domain);
ntlm_user(username);
ntlm_password(password);

# How does the ntlm functions tie in with Lwp methods?

$ua = new LWP::UserAgent();
$ua->proxy('http','proxyserver');
$resp = $ua->request(GET "http://www.perl.com");
$htmcode=$resp->{_content};

print "here comes the output...\n$htmcode\n";

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
