How does one go about using a user agent like lWP::UserAgent through Privoxy? I believe that Priovxy works like a SOCKs proxy. The user agent seems to ignore the proxy and connects directly. Is there another agent I can use that will work?
    # Set agent and proxy
    $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    $ua->proxy('socks', "http://localhost:8118");

    # remove cookies
    unlink "/tmp/cookies.txt";
    $ua->cookie_jar({ file => "/tmp/cookies.txt" });

    $response = $ua->get($url);

    if ($response->is_success){
        print $response->content;
    }else {
        print $response->status_line;
    }
