    send username/password via perl script instead of using browser

    There is a web page that I access frequently and would like to
    automate the authentication of the username and password. I would
    like to user a perl script but I'm not really sure about the steps.
    If someone could point me in the right direction. I don't know if
    it's this simple but wouldn't it just be a matter of using the LWP
    module. Calling the webpage and passing in the parameters? Any help
    would be appreciated.

    <html>
    <title>Acceso </title>
    <head>
    <script>
    function resetear() {
    //document.form1. Usuario.value=" ";
    //document.form1. Pasw.value="";
    document.form1. Usuario.focus() ;
    }
    function validar(f) {
    if (f.Usuario.valu e.length == 0) {
    f.Usuario.focus ();
    return false;
    } else if (f.Pasw.value.l ength == 0) {
    f.Pasw.focus();
    return false;
    }
    return true;
    }
    </script>

    charset=iso-8859-1">

      Re: send username/password via perl script instead of using browser

      Not sure if it helps, but when I need to do this in a link on a
      webpage (that is presenter the user name and password), I use the
      following URL:

      http://<username>:<pas sword>@<address >

      simply replace <address> with the URL of the page, <username> with the
      user name and <password> with the password.

          If you login with a perl/lwp script, your login info (such as the cookie
          that the site will likely set) will be set to your lwp cookies, not your
          browser, so you won't be logged in when you go back to the site in your
          browser anyway. I suppose this would work if the site is checking logins
          based on IP, but that's dumb and they shouldn't be doing it...
