    Look here if you mean by https://, and here (same page) if you mean password protected.
    You have moved into a dark place.

    First, you need to read through the docs for LWP::UserAgent.
    Look for the following: $ua->request($request, $arg [, $size]), $ua->credentials($netloc, $realm, $uname, $pass) and $ua->get_basic_credentials($realm, $uri, [$proxy]).
    Assuming that I read the LWP::UserAgent manual right. ;)
