After a few hours on cpan, reading docs, etc, im unable to find a way to use a Socks 5 proxy to tunnel the LWP requests.. I want the LWP object to use the Socks 5 proxy, so my ip isnt used. Anyone know a way? Thanks in advanced

I don't know if LWP::UserAgent can use a Socks 5 proxy, but I know that Privoxy can be told to forward requests to one. Set that up and you can send your requests through it.	[reply]
