DESCRIPTION
    This class is an extended LWP UserAgent, which can support both
    traditional HTTP_PROXY settings and proxy settings of Microsoft Windows
    Internet Explorer.

    $ua->env_proxy
    Read proxy settings from HTTP_PROXY or CGI_HTTP_PROXY or win32 IE proxy
    settings.

    $ua->set_proxy_by_name($name)
    Set proxy settings from $name.
    $name = "No";         # No Proxy
    $name = "Default";    # $ua->env_proxy
    $name = "Others...";  # set proxy as http://Others...

    my $ie_proxy_server = $this->get_ie_proxy( $ie_proxy_no )
    Return current IE proxy settings and set $ie_proxy_no as proxy override
    settings.

NOTES ABOUT IIS
    When running under Microsoft IIS, ProxyAny will try to read IE proxy
    settings from current user's registry. Under default setting of IIS, the
    current user to anonymous browsering is IUSR_(hostname) or
    IWAM_(hostname), and ProxyAny will read registry from .DEFAULT users
    instead of from login user.

    So if you want to use ProxyAny under IIS, you'd better change your IIS
    anonymous browsering settings from IUSR_(hostname) to your login user
    name.

    1. Open your IIS management interface.

    2. Select your web site, and right click to define properties.

    3. Go to "Directory Security" Tab, and click "edit" under Anonymous and
    Authentication groups.

    4. Enable Anonymous and edit your anonymous accounts, change it from
    IUSR_(hostname) or IWAM_(hostname) to your user name.
