Lwp and NTLM authentication

miniwinz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I am trying to get a google analytics lwp script running. On my dev machine everything is working, however in production I have to use a HTTP proxy server with NTLM authentication.
I am looking for a working example script.
I had a look at Lwp::Authen::Ntlm, however it never sent any authentication header. The code was something like this.

use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Authen::Ntlm;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(keep_alive=>1);
$ua->proxy('http://theproxy:80');
$ua->credentials('', '', "MyDomain\\MyUserCode", 'MyPassword');
$ua->get("http://google.de");

I also had a look at Authen::NTLM::HTTP. Which looked promising, but documentation sucks badly. Is there any monk living in Microsoft world, who has solved this "standard" issue already?
