does that mean, if i would creat a md5 hash from my password myself it would work? It might, but that might not be the only thing preventing login -- give it a try	[reply]

Hi KarlaCluft, I would try the $mechanize->submit_form(); function. Some thing like this maybe: `$mech->get($url); $mech->submit_form( form_name => 'signin_form', fields => { 'Username' => $user, 'Password' => $pass} );` [download] If that doesn't work for you, do what runrig said. Also, I recently did a brief tutorial on WWW::Mechanize in our tutorials section if you want to take a look at that. UPDATE: With your current code, you could also try this instead of just $mech->click(); `$mech->click_button( value=> "Login");` [download] If that button is the one needed to submit the user and login and if submit_form doesn't work..

I was under the impression the form name was 'signin_form' ? I would implement $mech->dump_text; after your code for logging in, too.	[reply]
