wrapper for bots to get outside corp firewall proxy username/passwd

I've included 3 functional test scripts (below).  None are able to get
beyond corp firewall to do work.  How do we extend these (or even for 
one) to provide a wrapper  to authenticate corp proxy firewall - allowing
 them to go outside?  

1.)  This code:
  Is supposed to authenticate firewall proxy & get outside (per LWP docs).
    Actually, It only prints ip addresses of what appear to be blocking
    masks for recieving (iie, offending) firewall.  Scrambling valid
 user/passwds  into invalid credentials, does not change output (see
 below).  This indicates the username passwd is not even being used to
 authenticate with firewall proxy.    When using IE to get beyond firewall, 
  user/passwd must be entered in popup dialog for any URL address which 
  pegs one of these ip masks coded into the firewall proxy.   IE has been
 config'd to reference proxy for non local URLs.  the IE  config info
   (under:  tools > internet options > connections > lan settings > 
  auto config script ) does not seem to apply to standalone network 
bots.  without recognition of these settings and a response of 
username/passwd
to answer the challenge, ftp or http bots cannot get outside!?

A little help is requested...

2.)  This code Dumps an html page but errors when url is outside
     firewall proxy.

3.)  This code gets/puts ftp files but is thwarted when going outside    
     proxy firewall (which is entered into browser).

------------------------- ( 1. script )--------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use LWP::UserAgent;

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp']=> 'http://sxxprxy.xx.com:8001/proxy.pac');

$req = HTTP::Request->new('GET',"http://www.perl.com");
("proxy_user", "proxy_password");
$req->proxy_authorization_basic("xxxx", "xxx002");
$res = $ua->request($req);
print $res->content if $res->is_success;
