connect throught a proxy

[badrh0]

Hello,
I want my Perl script to connect through the tor proxy which runs on my localhost on port 9050, so I wrote:

 require LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
 
$ua->timeout(10);
 
 
$ua->proxy(['http'], 'localhost:9050');
 
 
my $response = $ua->get('http://www.ip-adress.com/');
 
print $response->content;

But I have this error message:

501 Protocol scheme 'localhost' is not supported

thnx to help a newbie

It appears that you can't use localhost as a proxy.
