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

Hello fellow monks, Can someone tell me how to setup a Proxy server to be used by HTTP::Proxy? I basically want my HTTP::Proxy to talk to another proxy (corporate) before going to web. I am able to utilize the module, fine for as a proxy solution, but my network team at work recently added a corporate proxy in place. I want to simply add this proxy to my HTTP::Proxy code, so I can continue to monitor my own items with my own code. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    perldoc HTTP::Proxy

    and a LWP::UserAgent to ask for the requested pages.

    IMPORTANT: If you use your own LWP::UserAgent, you must install it before your calls to push_filter

    Accessors and mutators

    agent

    The LWP::UserAgent object used internally to connect to remote sites.

    perldoc LWP::UserAgent

    $ua->env_proxy;

     $ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'], 'http://username:password@proxy.localhost:8001/');
