This reply is mere a suggestion to monks that hit this node by supersearching, for I believe it's not relevant to your specific example.

Sometimes, the results of posting something with LWP, may look like nothing has happened/been posted. In this case, make sure there are no hidden fields that you missed (some BOFHs even create "random" values for hidden fields). Besides that, also check the use of cookie-stored session IDs (or other values stored in a cookie). Many sites use that too and disallow any posting without such a cookie. Annoying, but oh well, if a you can do something with your browser, you can do the same with LWP :) I, myself, always quite enjoy working around these attempts to ban scripts :)

If interested in the cookie stuff, see HTTP::Cookies.
