From the pod of LWP::Simple :
The user agent created by this module will identify itself as "LWP::Simple/#.##" (where "#.##" is the libwww-perl version number) and will initialize its proxy defaults from the environment (by calling $ua->env_proxy).
And accordingly looked up in the pod of LWP::UserAgent (emphasis again mine):
Load proxy settings from *_proxy environment variables. You might specify proxies like this (sh-syntax):
- gopher_proxy=http://proxy.my.place/
- wais_proxy=http://proxy.my.place/
- no_proxy="localhost,my.domain"
- export gopher_proxy wais_proxy no_proxy
csh or tcsh users should use the "setenv" command to define these environment variables.
On systems with case insensitive environment variables there exists a name clash between the CGI environment variables and the "HTTP_PROXY" environment variable normally picked up
by env_proxy(). Because of this "HTTP_PROXY" is not honored for CGI scripts. The "CGI_HTTP_PROXY" environment variable can be used instead.
So just set up the environment accordingly, and LWP::Simple DWYM.

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>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
