LWP::Simple->getstore Not Working

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to use LWP::Simple->getstore to retrieve an XML document from a remote server. I can access the document with a browser, but when I try getstore all I get is "501: Not Implemented." There's nothing fancy about the code:

    $status = LWP::Simple->getstore ($harvest_url, $upload_loc);
    if (is_error ($status)) {
      $emsg  = "***Upload failed on ->$harvest_url<-: ";
      $emsg .= "Code ->$status<- ";
      $emsg .= "Msg ->" . status_message ($status) . "<-";
      Common::logmsg ($lsid, "$emsg");
      die ("$lsid $emsg");
    }
    else {
      Common::logmsg ($lsid, "on ->$args<- successful");
    }

One of the SysAdmins thinks it has something to do with the fact that we're behind a "transparent" proxy, but he doesn't know for sure. This can't be that difficult. TIA for the advice.

'getstore' is not a method. `LWP::Simple::getstore(...)`, not `LWP::Simple->getstore(...)`.
