I know it's bad form to be replying to my own posts but this is fixed now thanks to a work mate.

The final code is:

use Data::Dumper; use WWW::Mechanize; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( cookie_jar => {}, agent => "WWW-Mechanize/0.01", protocols_allowed => ['http','https'], protocols_forbidden => [undef], autocheck => 1); $url = 'http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/pseries/aixfixes.ht +ml'; $mech->proxy('http','http://PROXY/'); $mech->get( $url ); #print Dumper $mech; $mech->follow_link( text_regex => qr/More fix services/) or die; #print Dumper $mech; $mech->follow_link( text_regex => qr/AIX 5.3/) or die; #print Dumper $mech; $mech->follow_link( text_regex => qr/Data file for AIX 5.3/) or die; #print Dumper $mech; $mech->get('http://www-912.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixinfo/download?fi +le=LatestFixData53'); print $mech->content;
