I need to get a lot of images from a web server by examining the webpage for image url, then fetching the image. the problem is that the server requires username and password authentication and not just basic http authentication. they have some script that sets a bunch of cookies. right now i am doing this by so (and I have already tried Image::Grab to no avail) 
$req = new HTTP::Request 'GET',"http://ftp.website.com/download.asp?f=
+/image.gif

$req->push_header(cookie=>"ID=b9a15e1");
$req->push_header(cookie=>"SESSION=LLMODEMBGI");

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$rc = $ua->request($req);
my $image = $rc->content;

[download]
but their server doesn't seem to recognize the cookies being sent, even though that is the same data being used by netscape/IE/Opera etc, etc. thus i am unable to get the image.
