Hi brother monks, I just started using UserAgent. I'm trying to logon to a site and having some difficulty.
The login page has two forms and a submit button:
INPUT NAME="LogInName" VALUE=""
INPUT NAME="PIN" input type = password
INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Continue"

I have this so far but how do I activite the submit button?
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $req = POST '$URL', | LogInName => 'blah', PIN => 'dadida' |;*
print $ua->request($req)->as_string;

*I was unable to get the left and right brackets to print - used | instead
Your help is greatly appreciated as always.
