Well, you rather should give Nicolas's or my version of LWP/UserAgent.pm a try,
as otherwise you won't get rid of this:

    Client-Warning: Redirect loop detected

No question.

Pls, trust me!

Put one of those UserAgent.pm in a place,
so that perl can pick it up.
"perl -V" will tell you its "@INC" list,
this will probably look like:

    /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i586-linux
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i586-linux
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl

by using the env. var. PERL5LIB you are able to extend that list yourself.
E.g. put UserAgent.pm in $HOME/perl5/LWP/UserAgent.pm
and start get_httpmail.pl like this:

    env http_proxy=http://your_proxy:your_proxy_port \
        PERL5LIB=$HOME/perl5 \
        get_httpmail.pl

This is really just straight forward,
no luck or skills or magical powers needed.

In the worst case I can talk you through, if you want to call me.
I rather don't have any day-/night-time restrictions.
Let me know!
