Hi All, When I run this perl program from home it seems to be working. But at office I get the following error message "Error: 500 Can't connect to www.yahoo.com:80 (connect: Unknown error)" . I guess it may be due to the proxy. Here is the code snippet. Can anyone let me know how to set the proxy userid and password in perl code. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->agent("Mozilla/5.0"); # pretend we are very capable browser

$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.yahoo.com');
$req->header('Accept' => 'text/html');
# send request
$res = $ua->request($req);
# check the outcome
if ($res->is_success) {
     print $res->content;
} else {
     print "Error: " . $res->status_line . "\n";
}
