Good advice. Another general tip is to use a common User Agent string, such as

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
because some sites disallow access based on the User Agent string as well. This looks like a decent list of Agents. Search google for more.

Also, start the ball rolling with WWW:Mechanize, if for no other reason than it handles cookies for you transparently. Just login "as usual" and you have a session.
