Friends

I have an simple "Asante Cable/DSL Router" which gets its IP address from my ISP. I wanted to write a short script that uses WWW::Mechanize to login and scrape out what my IP address is. So here's the scripts I wrote (Removing my actual password of course) ... 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use Data::Dumper;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();

my $url = "http://192.168.123.254/begin.htm";

print "Getting $url ...\n";
$mech->get( $url );
print "Got!\n";
my $fields = {
        'URL'   => 'XXXXXXXX'
};

#print Dumper ( $mech );
print "Submitting form ... \n";
my $r = $mech->submit_form( form_name => 'LOGIN', fields => $fields );
if ( $r->is_success ) {
        print "logged on!\n";
} else {
        print "Couldn't submit form:$!\n";
}

... when I run this I get ... 
Couldn't submit form:Connection reset by peer

Anyone out there know why I might be getting this error and want I can do about it?
