I hadn't thought to set LWP::Debug (and did you know that
Perl and LWP doesn't deal with LWP::Debug at all?), but now I have, and am getting much the same result when the proxy statement is removed.
Without proxy, the output from LWP::Debug is:
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: GET ftp://user:password@10.10.10.10/outg
+oing/
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: ftp URLs are among LWP::UserAgent=HASH(0
+x83ae480)'s allowed protocols (ftp http)
LWP::MediaTypes::read_media_types: Reading media types from /my/lib/pe
+rl5/site_perl/5.6.1/LWP/media.types
LWP::Protocol::ftp::request: ()
LWP::Protocol::MyFTP::new: ()
and here the debugger dies, along with the script.
With the proxy statement left in, I get:
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: GET ftp://user:password@10.10.10.10/outg
+oing/
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Proxied to http://www.nunya.biz:8080
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: http URLs are among LWP::UserAgent=HASH(
+0x83d28b0)'s allowed protocols (ftp http)
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 315 bytes
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 4096 bytes
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 4096 bytes
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 2954 bytes
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 1460 bytes
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 660 bytes
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 32 bytes
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: OK
and the debugger stays alive and ready to proceed.
On the off-chance this was an artifact of the debugger, I ran without the -d flag and sprinkled in some print statements. This didn't produce any change--LWP::Debug gave the same output and I died in the same place.
So at this point, I'm slightly stumped. I suppose my next move is either to give up and say "What the heck do I care? It works, doesn't it?" or step laboriously through the LWP code itself to see where it dies.
I'm certainly open to a better idea than either of those two.
Afterthought: I'm running 5.6.1. LWP is version 5.63.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>

-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
