Sorry,
I've been away dealing with an IBM mainframe and IBM tech support, talk about issues, wow.

Anyway, thank you for your input. I will try this, I've never dealt with the LWP stuff before, cookies I have, but not in this manner before. I see that quite a lot of folks out there ask you guys about cookies a lot. Almost like a book could be written on just that, cookies and dealing with them. With Perl being TIMTOWDI, I would assume there is more than one way to do this, dealing with ASP and sesion cookies. BTW, U asked about the error message from ASP, here it is:
"Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'
Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Mid'
/webdms/login.asp, line 440"

I will check back with this a bit later this week. Thanks again for all of the help.

I've used a standard issue cgi GET, as in,
"$result = GET $url"
Within the $url variable is also the
"?id=$id&password=$psw...."
This gave me the error msg I showed a bit earlier. I "See" the cookie come through as parsed data, which I think I can use the LWP stuff to send it back, that appears to be what my troubles are, getting the cookie back to the ASP program.

If there is more to do with this, please let me know, thanks again.
