authentication_basic works when the page is
behind an Apache-style Basic Authentication scheme. These
are the pages where you get a dialog box asking for your
username and password. It sounds like the authentication
on your page isn't the same ("...entering password and
login on the main page"). You'll need to work out how the
site handles authentication and write some LWP requests
that mimic those methods.

It would be nice if we could see what you have tried, but look here for some LWP code that works for me. It posts user info to a website, opens a cookie jar, etc. Second time in 24 hours I've linked someone to this node...C-. | [reply] |

Look at the login page HTML and figure out what form elements are used for the login. Mimic this behaviour with a POST or GET using LWP. You may have to fake HTTP_REFERER.
Step two, they probably use cookies for keeping the user session ID, so take a look in the LWP docs for how to attach a cookie jar to your user agent.
