I am trying to use LWP to log in to a SSL site. I have this code working on another SSL site, so the code shouldn't be too far off.
My first concern is that in the URL for the post there is a comment symbol (#). Is that an issue if I deference it? When I have "use strict" on I get this error:

Bareword "login" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 28) l
+ine 18.
Bareword "login" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 28) l
+ine 18.

Line 18 is pointing to the POST line. When I take "use strict;" out I get the page hit, but an error. Here is the header and message returned from google:

Is there a problem with getting the cookies? Is there a SSL certificate issue? Are they doing something weird on their end? Here is my code I am using to do this:

#!/usr/lib/perl -w

#use strict;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use Crypt::SSLeay;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::Simple;

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

$ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => 'cookie_jar', autosave =>1)
+);

push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';

my $request = $ua->request(POST "https://adwords.google.com/select/mai
+n",
                            {
                             login.userid => 'test@test.com',
                             login.password => 'testabc',
                             cmd => 'LoginValidation',
                             login => 'Login',
                            });
$b = $request->as_string;
print "$b\n";

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
