An underused trick is to use LWP::Debug in your script. This will give you some indication as to what is going on during the request/response process.

As you've noted, your script returns a 302 header, which is a redirect. LWP::UserAgent will automatically follow redirects on GET and HEAD requests. Adding POST to that list will get you to the proper page.

Assuming you've entered a proper username and password you'll move on, other wise you'll be back at the login page.

use strict;
use warnings;

use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use LWP::Debug qw( + );

my $url      = 'https://noii.nasdaqtrader.com/';
my $agent    = LWP::UserAgent->new(
    cookie_jar            => HTTP::Cookies->new,
    requests_redirectable => [ 'GET', 'HEAD', 'POST' ]
);

my $response = $agent->post( $url, {
    txtUserName => '***',
    txtUserPass => '***'
} );

print $response->content;
