I am trying to automate the entering of a password for a secure site that thereafter uses cookies. I receive a "302 Found" Error after POSTing that form. When I try to access parts of the site that I would see if I properly logged in, they tell me that I have to sign in. On another website that I automated logins for, I get the same 302 Found, but I can access other parts of the site without trouble. How can I let my program know to follow redirection? I guess redirecting isnt important in the site that works but is in this one.

Thanks a lot monks, below is code. 

use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use LWP;
use HTTP::Cookies;


my $browser=LWP::UserAgent->new;
$browser->cookie_jar({});
my $response=$browser->post(
'https://id.thewebsite.com/exec?c=user&f=login&_ref=User%5CLoginForm"'
+,
[
'un'=>"username",
'pw'=>"password",
'as'=>"stuffthatwashidden",
'sid'=>"stuffthatwashidden",
'rs'=>"stuffthatwashidden",
'rc'=>'stuffthatwashidden'
],
);
print $response->status_line;
