Hello, everyone. I'm writing a Perl script that downloads and saves to disk all of the MP3 files linked on a given Web page. For Web sites that do not require the use of cookies, I'm able to use LWP::Simple::getstore() without any problem. And I already know how to download HTML Web pages from sites that use cookies, using LWP::UserAgent->new(), HTTP::Cookies::Netscape->new(), HTTP::Request->new(), etc.
But I do not see how to do both at the same time -- in other words, download and store an MP3 file from a site that requires one to be logged in with a cookie. I tried using the HTTP::Request->new(), $ua->request(), but it does not work because the content type is not 'text/html', but instead 'audio/mpeg'.
Any ideas?

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).
