lwp & post



Hi all
I am atempting to get a log in with post, I have loooked in the from and it
uses post, hence using the post to log in, Where I'm confused is when i
print the $response->content I get the orignal page back, but what I want to
do is log in. Idealy I want to get through this log in page and get on to
the next page, whch hapens to be a post page as well.

I'm using the doc (
http://lwp.interglacial.com/ch05_05.htm#perllwp-CHP-5-EX-3 ) as my base for
doing this.

any Ideas and help most appriceated.





7 my $login_Name = "name";
8 my $password_PassText = "secret";

11 my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
12 my $response = $browser->post(
13 'http://website/',
14 [
15 #name="login"
16 'login' => $login_Name,
17 #name="password"
18 'password' => $password_PassText,
19
20 #name="login" value="Log In"
21
22 'login' => "Log In"
23 ],
24 );
25 die "Error: ", $response->status_line
26 unless $response->is_success;
27
28 if($response) {
29 print "got a responce";
30 }
31
32 if ($response->is_success) {
33 print $response->content;
34 }
35 else {
36 print $response->status_line, "\n";
37 }
