Hey all, I am trying to set up a short Mecahnize script to request a page, but for some reason the passing of credentials isn't doing what I expect. The reponse I get seems to be implying that the credentials are not getting passed.
Here is the code I am using: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use WWW::Mechanize;
use strict;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( );
my $url = 'https://mybox/bin/engine.cgi';
my $base = 'https://mybox';
my $username = 'foo';
my $password = 'foo';
$mech->credentials($base, $username, $password);
$mech->get( $url );

use Data::Dumper;

print Dumper($mech);

Result: 
HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>401 Authorization Required</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Authorization Required</H1>
This server could not verify that you
are authorized to access the document
requested.  Either you supplied the wrong
credentials (e.g., bad password), or your
browser doesn\'t understand how to supply
the credentials required.<P>

Two items:
1) I know the URL is correct
2) I know the username and password combination is correct.
Any help you call can provide is appreciated.

Edit: fixed code so that is matches what I really had ( both netlocs matching ).
