      Thank! It works!
      #d:\Perl\bin\perl.exe
 
use HTTP::Request::Common ;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP 5.64;


my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$browser->credentials(
    'www.mysite:port',
    'real name',
    'user' => 'passwd'
 );
 
my $url = 'http://www.site/mylogpage';
my $response = $browser->get($url);
die "Error: ", $response->header('WWW-Authenticate') || 
'Error accessing',
#  ('WWW-Authenticate' is the realm-name)
"\n ", $response->status_line, "\n at $url\n Aborting"
unless $response->is_success;

$content = $response->as_string;
