I am using Randal's form ripper script
(http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/col43.html )
to pull some data from GoogleAds then extract data from the HTML using HTML::TableExtract.
I am NOT an expert in LWP, but I've used Randal's script successfully elsewhere.
Now I am befuddled.
I think I am running into problems as the page uses HTTPS vs. HTTP.
Here's the error I'm encountering: 
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\google\GoogleTools>perl gt_refresh.pl
Can't locate object method "method" via package "HTTP::Headers" (perha
+ps you for got to load "HTTP::Headers"?) at C:/Perl/site/lib/HTTP/Mes
+sage.pm line 189.

And here's my code: 
package GoogleCampaignData;
use HTML::TableExtract;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use strict;

sub new {
    my ($class, $campid) = @_;
    my $self = {};
    _init($self, $campid);
    bless($self, $class);
    return $self;
}

sub _init {
    my ($self, $campid) = @_;
    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    $ua->env_proxy;
    my $req = 
    $ua->request(POST "https://adwords.google.com/reports/ads", 
             [
              # "seshid" => "XXXXXX", # hidden
              "campaign" => $campid,
              "when" => "campaignlife", # campaign to date
              "mode" => "keywords", # by keyword URL -- this is critic
+al
              "keywords_criteriaSort" => "parameters", # by keyword
              "byposition" => "1", # differentiate pos1 and pos2
              "display_format" => "html", # HTML results
              "submit2" => "Generate Report" # do it
              ],
             Referer => "http://ads.google.com/reports/ads?username=XX
+XX&password=XXXX",
             );
    my $content = $ua->request($req)->as_string;
    die $content;  # FOR DEBUGGING -- SHOW WE GOT SOMETHING
}
