The crux of your problem is understanding how your firewall/proxy works. You need to come to an understanding of how your firewall authentication works, then you can address how to deal with it in perl. Exactly how does the login you have to do to browse the web work? Does your web browser have to have any proxy settings?

There are proxy methods in LWP::UserAgent to support proxying and other methods for HTTP authentication; either of those might fit the bill depending on how your firewall authentication works.
