I wound up with this code a while ago when I was troubleshooting some issues with cookies, logging into a google adwords account. I did eventually get it to work. YMMV... 
    my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new; 
    $cookie_jar->clear; # shouldn't be necessary since object was newl
+y created in above line but this is all experimentation... 
    
    # A variable that holds our POST request to the site
    $ENV{HTTPS_VERSION} = 3;

    my $action = POST 'https://adwords.google.com/select/LoginValidati
+on',
        [ 
            'hl' => $language,
            'login.userid' => $adwordsEmailLogin,
            'login.password' => $adwordsPassword,
             'login' => 'Login'
        ];

    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    
    $ua->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);  
    
    # We disguise ourselves as Internet Explorer
    $ua->agent('Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)');
    $ua->timeout(30);
    
    #$ENV{HTTPS_PROXY} = 'http://proxy.host:proxy_port'; #if need prox
+y

    if ($proxy) {
        logMessage( "adwordsLogin: Logging into adwords using proxy $p
+roxy.\n");        
        $ua->proxy('http',$proxy); # should this be https?  No, seems 
+to work as is. # actually, not sure.  check this later.
    }

    my $www = $ua->request( $action );
    
    # In the event that the request to google fails

    my $headers = new HTTP::Headers;
    $headers = $www->headers();
    my $redir = $headers->header('Location'); #target url
    my $action2 = GET 'https://adwords.google.com'.$redir; 
    my $www2 = $ua->request( $action2 );
    unless ($www2->is_success) {
        logMessage( "AdwordsLogin: The error code: " . $www2->code . "
+ was returned!");
    }
    
    $cookie_jar->extract_cookies($www2);

    # Put the HTML into a seperate variable
    #my $content = $www2->content;
    # test
    #open F, "> adwordsLoginResult.html"; print F $content; close F;

    $adwordsLoginTries++;
    return \$cookie_jar;
