Read! dws's responses he has handed you the answer.
At the site you are interested in there are/is pages/page that are the only access points to the page you are trying to get.

Those pages/page are testing for javascript and setting a cookie or simply using javascript to set the cookie. Either way no JS no cookie... no cookie no page of interest.

the simple thing to do is go to one of these 'access' pages, view the source and see what cookie is being set. then in your LWP script put the discovered cookie into your cookie jar.

This is a fairly common practice but there are methods that are more complicated but can still be worked around. Try this way and let us know.

Oh yea and don't forget to thank dws. Since all I did was shout his answer back at you :)

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
