In this case it's the LWP cookbook:
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww-perl-5.834/lwpcook.pod#PROXIES

The "More Documentation" at the end of LWP's POD mentions it.

You shouldn't need to write any new classes to do this.

This part of your dump suggests you haven't set the proxy correctly.

LWP::Debug's documentation has a section about Network traffic
