<p><b>Update:</b> the cookie file is '.pm-cookie' NOT '.pm-cookies', thanks to [Asim] for making me test my own instructions.</p>
<p>I only seemed to be able to log in as Anonymous Monk through our local firewall/proxy. It turns out that the '.pm-cookie' file which is used to store login information wasn't being created.</p>
<p>All you need to do is find the directory where your '.perlmonks' directory lives (%HOME%?) and create an empty '.pm-cookie' file. Then run 'getchat.pl' (comes with PerlMonks module) as 'getchat.pl -l <username>', this will log you in properly and sort out the cookies.</p>
<p><b>Update:</b> the directories should be something like this:
<ul><li>%HOME%/</li>
<ul><li>.perlmonks/</li>
<li>.pm-cookie</li>
<li>(other stuff...)</li></ul>
</ul></p>
<p>/msg me if you need any more information...</p>
