When a user hits on a link of my webpage(the fun ballob button) i want the user redirected to games.pl script but i want him to enter some credentials first username and pass. I have made the follwoing script inside games.pl but unfortunatealy i cant even see the htttp auth login dialog window. Anyone can see why? 
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$browser->credentials(
        'www.nikolas.tk:80',
        'Personal Folder',
        'nikos' => '********'
);

my $url = 'http://www.nikolas.tk/cgi-bin/games.pl';
my $response = $browser->get($url);


die "Error: ", $response->header('Nikos Personal Folder') || 'Error ac
+cessing',
    "\n ", $response->status_line, "\n at $url\n Aborting"
unless $response->is_success;
