I was having a similar problem. You might want to look into $ua->agent("string"); in the LWP docs. It allows you to pass yourself off as whatever browser you wish.
I won't even get into what I think of people who require certain browsers, but unfortunately many do. If they're using server side detection badly, it can thrash the page or completely deny you entry. The answer is to mimic a browser that is allowed.
The most common restriction is a 4+ version browser, followed by requiring IE only. The following string should solve the problem in most cases:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
Update: Fixed my horrid horrid late night grammar to just really bad late night grammar. ;)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
