LWP doesn't seem to want to work through Privoxy (privoxy.org).
Privoxy is up and running fine through a normal browser and my script
works fine without Privoxy, but I can't get them working together.
Here is my code:

use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'], "http://127.0.0.1:8118/"); # Privoxy
$req = new HTTP::Request GET => "http://anysite.com";
$res = $ua->request($req);
print $res->content;

.... which produces this:

500 Chunked must be last Transfer-Encoding 'identity'

Found the answer:

This turns out to be a bug in Privoxy. If you upgrade to the 3.0.5-
Beta version, the chunked problem goes away.
