This four line script will generate the error for me.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent-> new();
$ua-> env_proxy;

C:\temp> lwp.pl
Proxy must be specified as absolute URI; '10.1.' is not at C:\temp\lwp.pl line 4

The error message is exactly the same (i.e. the 10.1. doesn't change) no matter what I set h
ttp_proxy to or if it is not set at all. Does capitalization of the http_proxy matter and if
 so, what's proper? Otherwise, I'm lost.
