Super Searching for "Proxy Authentication Required" yields the following:

Question on LWP::UserAgent attribute - $ua->credentials()
Mail::Client::Yahoo problems
perl HTTP request through IIS proxy server
WEBSweeper Proxy Authentication
LWP through Proxy

I would probably start there and see if any of those suggestions help.

My boilerplate advice for dealing with WWW::Mechanize issues is:

I would try using a module such as HTTP::Recorder or WWW::Mechanize::Shell to record a successful manual form submission. The output of HTTP::Recorder, for instance, can be "dropped" right into your WWW::Mechanize scripts (leira's article that I mentioned above tells you how).

Another important tool for finding out what is really happening behind the scenes between server and browser is a protocol analyzer such as Ethereal.

If none of those suggestions helps, try posting your entire script as a reply here - censoring any sensitive details such as username/password, of course... And let us know more about your environment...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
