This seems like such a simple task and yet its turning out to be quite difficult.

It is because you're not being linear, because you're not speaking the right language

If it works from your browser, it works because of the headers/requests it sends, so if you want it to work from LWP, send the exact same requests, in the exact same order, using the exact same headers

If for whatever reason the website decides it doesn't like your requests, you didn't dot an I or cross a T, well, you'll have to figure it out, there is no secret, no magic, websites can be fantastically stupid in what they accept and what they reject, so if you have found a way that works, be as identical as possible
