$ENV{"http_proxy"} retrieves the environment variable http_proxy, splits it into a non-whitespace section and a numeric section separated by a ':'. These sections are assigned to $host and $port.
Just a guess, but have you tried upper-casing "HTTP_PROXY" in the code?
UPDATE: See phaylon's response below. I didn't spot that trailing slash in your data. If your data will always have the slash, you can do: my($host,$port) = ($ENV{"http_proxy"} =~ /^(\S+)\:(\d+)\/$/); to account for it.

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).
