Hi there, I have a problem, i need to automate a login to a site, but this site needs cookies enabled, i have the following code (code below), yet the response is cookies need to be enabled, any ideas what i am doing wrong???


#!/local/bin/perl -w
require LWP;

use LWP::Simple;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new();


$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new('file' => 'C:/Documents and Settings/
+user/Cookies/user@kingsofchaos[2].txt',
        # where to read/write cookies
    'autosave' => 1,
        # save it to disk when done
        );
$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );


$xml = "usrname=data&uemail=data&peeword=data";
$url = "http://www.somesite.com/login.php?$xml";


$reply_msg = $browser->get($url);


while (($key,$value) = each(%$reply_msg))
{
    print "$key - $value\n";
    while(($nkey,$nvalue) = each(%$value))
    {
        print "$key - $nkey - $nvalue\n";
#        while(($nnkey,$nnvalue) = each(%$nvalue))
#        {
#            print "$key - $nkey - $nnkey - $nnvalue\n";
#        }
    }
}

exit;
