I am trying to use a proxy with mechanize, I understand that methods used in LWP::Useragent should work with WWW::Mechanize, so far, I only get the first page or get an "uninitialised value" when I try to get any page with a proxy with WWW::Mechanize, or only get the first page and no more succeeding pages. I understand that for proxies with LWP::Useragent my $ua = LWP::Useragent->new; $ua->proxy('http' => 'proxy'); I have tried it with Mechanize as  my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $mech->proxy('http','proxy'); The pages are not https, and I do not understand why the same proxy works fine in ie6/firefox but not with any perl script, I did try LWP::Debug qw(+ -conns) and received the error message "simple resonse not implemented", I also used use LWP::Useragent::ProxyAny, and the method set_proxy_by_name(...); for LWP and for Mechanize, still the same error msg, I am out of ideas as to how to getting a proxy to work with any perl script!
