in reply to Perl/Tk Chatterbox Client

Is there a workaround for us poor people with proxies? Is there anyway I can get this to connect to my proxy?

    First, set up your enviromental variables for your HTTP proxy. Then, backup Perlmonks.pm, open it, and move to line 63, which looks like this:

    $self->{ua}=new LWP::UserAgent;

    And add below it:

    $self->{ua}->env_proxy();

    Save it and run it.

    That will get you on as a Anonymous Monk, but I havn't sorted out why it fails with logging in. Ideas welcome! By the By, this is on a WinNT system.

      But what about proxies that require a username/pass combo?
      I've managed to set "HTTP_PROXY="http://bozo.the.com:83" in my .profile, but what about username and pass?

      What does this little button do . .<Click>; "USER HAS SIGNED OFF FOR THE DAY"
