What kind of proxy is this?  Is it soap aware, or just tunneling?
When it is a simple tunnel, then you can overrule the destination with

   my $call = $wsdl->compileClient(operation => ..., 
     , server => 'soap.example.com:512'
     );

or   , endpoint => 'http//my-proxy/some-path'

The "server" keeps the path to the endpoint as specified in the WSDL in-tact,
only replaces the username:password at host:port component of the URI.  The
"endpoint" replaces all.

A lot of the objects are created automatically by default. But if you have
to diverge from the defaults, you have to build it step-by-step:

    my $lwp    = LWP::UserAgent->new(....);

    my $http   = XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP->new(user_agent => $lwp);
    my $sender = $http->compileClient(...);

    my $call   = $wsdl->compileClient
      ( operation => 'hello-world'
      , transport => $sender
      );

You can (=should) reuse the same $sender for all calls.
