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

I'm trying to get property details at the following url, and getting into a bit of a pickle!

I am trying to access a site where the image is clearly only allowed with the session cookie. I'm using Mechanize to grab the cookies and the image url:

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( cookie_jar => { file => 'cookies.txt', ignore_discard => 1, autosave => 1 } ); $mech->get($add); my $r = $mech->content; my @names; my @links = $mech->find_all_images(url_regex => qr/jpg/); for my $img (@links) { my $a = $img -> url_abs; push @names, $a; }

I'm currently using getstore( ... ) from LWP::Simple to write the image to file

I have tried using LWP::Useragent, $ua->mirror( $url, $filename ) after loading the cookie file: $ua -> cookie_jar('cookies.txt');, however this has not worked and the photo files are not recreated. If anyone can give me some pointers on how to do this I'd be very grateful.
