in thread http POST + authentication

I saw that looking through the libwww-perl mailing list archives, here's what they look like:
$ua->credentials(< 'servername:portnumber', 'realm-name', 'username' => 'password' );
NOTE: You have to specify the port number above!

    Yarg... With the credentials piece, the final solution was already in my hand. A boneheaded developer at the other end included a hidden form element with value="PLACEHOLDER_NOTUSEDANYMORE" and decided that this was a required field, not excepting the form without it.

    thanks all for your help!!
