Hello,

I have to change IE proxy settings via perl interface in realtime, so they will be active. I searched the web for a long time, found something, coded too, but it doesn't work. I don't know how to "refresh" options - making them active. ok, my first goal is enable, or disable proxy in IE. Here is code: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::TieRegistry( Delimiter=>"/", ArrayValues=>0 );
use Win32::API;

#proxy in IE is disabled now
my $regpath = 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVer
+sion/Internet Settings/';
my $penable = $regpath . 'ProxyEnable';
$Registry->{$penable}= '0x00000001';
print my $pe = $Registry->{$penable}; #prints '0x00000001', so value i
+s stored
my $InternetSetOption = Win32::API->new("wininet", "InternetSetOption"
+, [qw(N N N N)], 'N');
$InternetSetOption->Call(0, 39, 0, 0) || die "$!\n";
$InternetSetOption->Call(0, 37, 0, 0) || die "$!\n";
