in reply to LWP FORM POSTing help

You should switch to WWW::Mechanize, which is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent. WWW::Mechanize provides methods which abstract away cumbersome items like having to know what the name of a form or submit button is - it also provides a cookie jar and history of visted pages. See the documentation for examples.
