    If you had read the Documentation (which was pointed out to you by chargrill in the first reply to this thread) you would see that you have $m->http_proxy rather than $m->proxy. Again, if you are not sure about something why not read the documentation, it does not take that long does it?

    As a side note you can also use can to find out if a Method exists within an invocant: 
    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();

if ($mech->can("http_proxy")){
    print "Mech can http_proxy\n";
}else{
    print "Mech can't http_proxy\n";
}

if ($mech->can("proxy")){
    print "Mech can proxy\n";
}else{
    print "Mech can't proxy\n";
}

      To be fair, I also hadn't done an RTFM before posting, which is why I commented on the error. Then again, I'm not the one having problems with my code :)

        No harm done I guess, they would not sell pencils with erasers at one end if nobody ever made a mistake :) When possible I try and test the code I post to make sure that it works as I claim it will.

        Cheers

    There is no method http_proxy. If you RTFM you can discover the correct method.
