I tried to access the authenticated page config.cgi using the below code. But I am not able to access them with the authenticated session. I get only the login page at the second request. Somebody please tell me whats wrong in this script.

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->agent("MyApp/0.1 ");

$url = 'http://localhost/web_authenticate_post.cgi';

$req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $url);
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

$req->content('username=security&password=security&login=Login');

my $res=$ua->request($req);

if($res->is_success){
   $res1 = $ua->request(HTTP::Request->new(GET=>'http://localhost/conf
+ig.cgi'
));
   print $res1->content;
}
else{
   print $res->status_line;
}

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
