You don't need Perl. A Google search for windows registry proxy settings brought up: How to Configure Client Proxy Server Settings by Using a Registry File, which says just create a batch file or set it in the logon script etc. There is also, Use System-Wide Proxy Settings (All Windows) from the same search HTH.

I was able to figure out how to set the proxy for IE but I do not think that Mozilla honors it. Is there a way to script setting the proxy settings for Mozilla? http://www.basgetti.com	[reply]

Update: Sorry, I forgot it was Mozilla. Just search with regedit for the right keys. I would use the same techique as previously mentioned. Google again gave, Running Firefox from a Network Drive, which gives you the HKEY locations in the registry. Have a look there with regedit and look for proxy. HTH.
