Hotmail and Perl!

Has anyone recently been successful in writing a Perl script to check their
Hotmail account? I've been working on it all day and I can't seem to get
anything to log in. Here's what I've tried:

WWW::Hotmail (Simon Cozens)

Here, I get a weird Perl error:

# ./hotmail-check -o retrieve
No such field 'login' at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/WWW/Mechanize.pm
line 473

Not sure... I've also tried httpmail. That one just fails to login when I
try. The last one was writing something with LWP in an attempt to HTTP post
my info. When I do that, I get white space back from Hotmail.

I'm sure this has been done before. Rather than re-invent the wheel, does
anyone here have any suggestions?
