I would not expect what you have to work. That's because you have created two user agent objects, $ua and $mech (yes the latter is a user agent object too, because WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent), one ($ua) that is configured for use with a proxy (but is otherwise not used), and the other ($mech) that is not configured to use a proxy. I think what you want is something more like this:
Note that what I have done is treat $mech as an LWP::UserAgent object. (If it's not clear what's going on, take a look at perltoot.)#!/usr/bin/perl use Data::Dumper; use WWW::Mechanize; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(cookie_jar => {}, agent => "WWW-Mechani +ze/0.01"); $url = 'http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/pseries/aixfixes.ht +ml'; $mech->proxy('http','192.168.1.248'); $mech->get( $url ); $mech->follow_link( text_regex => qr/More fix services/); $mech->follow_link( text_regex => qr/AIX 5.3/); $mech->follow_link( text_regex => qr/Data file for AIX 5.3/); print Dumper $mech;
BTW, you should get into the habit of checking for the success of requests made through the $mech object; you do this with its is_success method.
