Hi, Looking back at this question a day later raises a query in my mind. Does the page you are trying to access have some kind of login form where you are required to enter a valid username and password, or is a pop up window displayed asking for valid credentials? Either way, in the past I have implemented screen scraping / data processing of sites using WWW::Mechanize. The previous link shows some examples of how easy it is to process forms (login or otherwise), follow links and return page content for processing. I have done the same thing using other methods, but in my experience using WWW::Mechanize is easier to implement. It is also worth while reading merlyn's column Web scraping with WWW::Mechanize (Apr 03) which I found very informative. Hope this helps Martin
