in thread LWP::Simple setting a proxy

I would like to use HTTP::Request::Common and LWP::UserAgent for that kind of stunt and use a POST to submit the data to the server.

Try out the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w # Uses use strict; use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST); use LWP::UserAgent; # URL my $url = 'http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi'; # User Agent Object my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'], 'http://10.2.7.11:8080'); #The username that you are looking up print "Please input username: "; my $username = <STDIN>; chomp($username); # Request my $req = POST $url, [ genre=>'search', searchdesc=> $username, searchfields=>'H']; my $page=$ua->request($req)->as_string; #The rest of your code goes here

    I needed something fast... I needed something quick... I needed something SIMPLE... hence LWP::Simple!

    I am the first overweight, very tall munchkin... be very amazed.
