reTard has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all
I'm trying to download a file from a web site using a Perl script but it is 'protected' by some a cookie a couple of clicks back.
How should I do this? I've looked (briefly) at LWP but I don't know if thats what I need to do. There is also a proxy in between my workstation and the internet (but it doesn't required authentication).
Thanks
reTard
