Did you read the section pointed to the the URL I provided?  It says:

| Some proxies also require that you send it a username/password in
| order to let requests through. You should be able to add the
| required header, with something like this:
| 
|  use LWP::UserAgent;
| 
|  $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
|  $ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'] => 'http://username:[email protected]');
| 
|  $req = HTTP::Request->new('GET',"http://www.perl.com");
| 
|  $res = $ua->request($req);
|  print $res->decoded_content if $res->is_success;
| 
| Replace proxy.myorg.com, username and password with something
| suitable for your site.
