Your problem is that LWP::Simple calls $ua->env_proxy when it loads. The -MLWP::Simple make perl load the module before the -e code runs. You need to arrange for the environment variable to be deleted before that. Deleting it in a BEGIN block is probably the way to go. For instance like this:perl -e 'BEGIN{ delete $ENV{HTTP_PROXY} }; use LWP::Simple; print get("http://www.google.co.uk";)'
