Hi, I am trying to use Flickr::API, but i am stuck behind a proxy. According to the documentation, Flickr::API is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent, so all of the various proxy, request limits, caching, etc are available. so i've tried setting the proxy with

require LWP::UserAgent;
 my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->proxy('http', 'http://wwwcache.aber.ac.uk:8080/');




my $api = new Flickr::API({'key' => ''}); #There is an api key here!

my $response = $api->execute_method('flickr.test.echo', {
                            'foo' => 'bar',
                            'baz' => 'quux',
                                    });
$ua->get($response);

but i get an error saying "Can't use a Flickr::API::Response object as a URI at /usr/share/perl5/HTTP/Request/Common.pm line 104" any ideas to why i am getting this ? full code is

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

 use Flickr::API;
use Data::Dumper;


require LWP::UserAgent;
 my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->proxy('http', 'http://wwwcache.aber.ac.uk:8080/');


my $api = new Flickr::API({'key' => ''}); #there is normally an API ke
+y here

my $response = $api->execute_method('flickr.test.echo', {
                            'foo' => 'bar',
                            'baz' => 'quux',
                                    });
$ua->get($response);

 print "Success: $response->{success}\n";
 print "Error code: $response->{error_code}\n";
 print Dumper ($response);
