Dear Monks

Here is a new question that came up recently.

For a specific task, I need to use a VPN Client, after logging on to the client, I need to connect to a remote server. For both logons password and user name are provided

I was wondering how one could connect to a VPN-client and using that logon to connect to a server. Or maybe there is a handy module that I have not come across

I tried it with WWW:Mechanize, bit could not logon. I coud not find further information about this particular logon-scenario either

This is what I tried to do


my $server     = qw[host];
my $username     = "abc"; 
my $password     = "123";

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech -> credentials( $username, $password );
$mech -> get( $server ) or die "Unable to connect";

Thanks a mil in advance for your comments
