I have got this script to automate submitting a form to a website and getting the response back.
only this site is powered by .net and when I use user agent to get even the home page it is allways getting an
error and redirecting to an error page asperrorpath=...

I found out the if I turn of the cookies I get this message all the time - meaning that the site is storing id
and session on my computer as a cookie.

so I added the cookie functionality to the user agent but I can't seem to have the site store the
cookies on any cookie folder not the cutom lwp_cookies (see script)
and not he default microsoft cookie folder.


any suggestions???

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use HTTP::Cookies;
use HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft;

BEGIN { $LWP::DebugFile::outname = 'c:/ua_debug.txt' }
use LWP::DebugFile qw(+);
