The following is an example of some code that uses LWP to post some data to an HTTPS login page and collect the cookies in a temporary HTTP::Cookie jar. You can persist the cookies for future use by giving the cookie jar a file to use.

You will need to change the $loginFormUrl and form data in order to get this to work with your login page.

Inman 

#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use HTTP::Request;
use IO::Socket::SSL;

my $loginFormUrl = "https://webbroker33w.tdwaterhouse.ca/LogOn";

# Join the list of name=value pairs that you get from your login page
my $postContent = join "&", qw (
userid=myUser
passwd=myPassword
);

# Create User Agent
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();

# Set up the cookie jar to use the file 'cookies.txt'
$ua->cookie_jar (HTTP::Cookies->new ());
push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';

my $req = HTTP::Request->new("POST", $loginFormUrl );
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content($postContent);

# Send the request to the server
my $resp = $ua->request( $req );

if ( $resp->is_error() ) {
	print "warning Error requesting URL ->" . $resp->message();}
else{
	print $resp->headers_as_string . "\n";}
