Hello Monks, I know this is probably something that probably has been asked quite a few times....I have scanned through a lot of documentation ...a lot of queries posted on various groups etc..But still not able to get through this issue with the proxy on my network. Also the requests are Websensed. Here is a sample script I picked up from the code snippets on perl monks .... but this doesnt work... 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# dget.pl
# pod at tail

use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use Getopt::Long;
use Pod::Usage;
use URI::URL;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);

my ($opt_help, $opt_man);
GetOptions(
  'help!' => \$opt_help,
  'man!'  => \$opt_man,
) or pod2usage(-verbose => 1) && exit;
pod2usage(-verbose => 1) && exit if (defined $opt_help);
pod2usage(-verbose => 2) && exit if (defined $opt_man);


# Begin config parameters
my %parm = (
  url       => shift,
  outfile   => shift, 
  uatimeout => 120,          # seconds before giving up on fetch
  browser   => 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Geck
+o/20020310 ',
);
my %proxy = (
  host => 'http://proxy.mycomp.com:8080',    # http://host.dom:port
  id   => 'mynw\mylogin',    # ntdom\userid
  pass => 'mypasswd',    # empty quotes if no proxy auth
);
# End config parameters


unless(defined $parm{url}) {
  print "\n  Ooot - you forgot to provide a URL !\n";
  Ooot(); 
}
unless(defined $parm{outfile}) {
  print "\n  Ooot - your forgot to provide an outfile !\n";
  Ooot(); 
}
print "\n  Fetching $parm{url}...\n";


my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->agent($parm{browser});
$ua->timeout($parm{uatimeout});
$ua->proxy(http => "$proxy{host}") if (defined $proxy{host}); 
$parm{url} = new URI::URL($parm{url});
my $req    = new HTTP::Request "GET" => ($parm{url});
$req->proxy_authorization_basic
  ($proxy{id}, $proxy{pass}) if (defined $proxy{id});


my $res = $ua->request($req);
if ($res -> is_success) {
  my $rescont = $res->content;
  open (OUT, ">$parm{outfile}")
    or die "Error opening $parm{outfile} for write: $!";
  print OUT $rescont;
  close OUT
    or die "Error closing $parm{outfile}: $!";
}
else {
  my $resmsg = $res->message;
  print "Error fetching $parm{url}:\n  $resmsg\n\n";
  exit;
}


print "  Done!  Page saved at '$parm{outfile}'\n\n";



sub Ooot {
  print
    "\n  dget.pl --help",
    "\n  dget.pl --man",
    "\n",
    "\n  LWP      $LWP::VERSION",
    "\n  Perl     $]",
    "\n  OS       $^O",
    "\n  Program  $0",
    "\n\n",
    ;
  exit;
}



Outputs the following :

D:\testperl>perl dget.pl http://google.com out.txt
