Try dropping these use statements:
use LWP::Simple; use HTTP::Request; use HTTP::Cookies;
and add:
use LWP;
so your script will look something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use LWP; use LWP::UserAgent; my $URI = 'https://www.domain.com/protected_realm'; my $user = 'foo'; my $pass = 'bar'; # define user agent my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(); $ua->agent("USER/AGENT/IDENTIFICATION"); # make request my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $URI); # authenticate $request->authorization_basic($user, $pass); # except response my $response = $ua->request($request); # get content of response my $content = $response->content(); # do whatever you need to do with the content here print $content; exit;
It would be wise to add error checking in there as well. :)

Also, check out the docs for LWP here: LWP

And the LWP::UserAgent docs for your cookie related needs: LWP::UserAgent

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
