I couldn't figure out why the test script would run on one machine, but not on another, until I found that the machine it wouldn't run on had the HTTP_PROXY set.  When I unset that variable in the shell, the script works, but I cannot for the life of me unset HTTP_PROXY in the script itself.

I did.  No joy.

perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'delete $ENV{HTTP_PROXY}; print 
get("http://www.google.co.uk")'

doesn't work, but

unset HTTP_PROXY; perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'print 
get("http://www.google.co.uk")'

does work.

I'd also tried deleting or undefing http_proxy as well.  Keep the 
suggestions coming.
