Did you try using http://user:pass@proxy:port/ for the proxy address?

Compare

    $ HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:8080/ perl -MLWP -MLWP::Debug=+  -e 'print LWP::UserAgent->new(env_proxy => 1)->request( HTTP::Request->new( GET => "http://www.perdu.com/"))->content()'
    LWP::UserAgent::new: ()
    LWP::UserAgent::proxy: http http://localhost:8080/
    LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
    LWP::UserAgent::send_request: GET http://www.perdu.com/
    LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Proxied to http://localhost:8080/
    LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
    LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Proxy Authentication Required

with

    $ HTTP_PROXY=http://http:proxy@localhost:8080/ perl -MLWP -MLWP::Debug=+  -e 'print LWP::UserAgent->new(env_proxy => 1)->request( HTTP::Request->new( GET => "http://www.perdu.com/"))->content()'
