Perl - downloading files - proxy problem

[c83]

I am using Active Perl, and i-am having problems downloading files from internet because of the proxy.
The script is workin when no proxy is present, but now it refuses to download files.
Here is the script:

#use module
use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;
use LWP::Simple;
 
#test function
sub test_func
{
print "\n Test function starts:\n";
my $data_file = "http://website.com/file.txt";
 
my $remote_xml = get $data_file;
print "File:\n $remote_xml";
}
 
test_func();

What else i needed here ??

look into using LWP::UserAgent instead of LWP::Simple

cpan LWP::UserAgent

The only thing that I would do, and advise anyone else to do would be to read the extensive documentation.

Good suggestion. Note it will direct the reader to LWP::UserAgent in the case of a proxy.
