Greetings fellow monks, I've been around the monastery for a while and always found wisdom in previous posts, but this time I can't find anything helpful either in the monastery or elsewhere. I am trying to use WWW::Mechanize to connect to a page stored in a password protected directory. That directory of course is not hosted on a local server but on a hosting service's server. When I try to get the page the response header sent back by the server is: 
Client-Warning : Unsupported authentication scheme 'ntlm'
Title : You are not authorized to view this page

The doc for LWP::Authen::Ntlm states that it is automatically invoked when you use LWP, and since WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP it should do the same, right ? I tried adding "use LWP::Authen::Ntlm;" in my script to make sure it is loaded but then the response header changes to: 
Client-Warning : Unsupported authentication scheme 'negotiate'
Title : You are not authorized to view this page

I'm using these modules to try to establish my connection. Am I missing one ? 
use WWW::Mechanize;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);
use LWP::Authen::Ntlm;

I am using ActiveState's version 5.8.7 on a windows 2000 box. The page is on a windows nt machine running Microsoft-IIS/5.0. Typing upgrade in PPM tells me that my modules are all up to date. -- Addition I am using Mark Bush's module, so that souldn't be the issue. As noted by Asim, I fogot to add my code. here it is: 

#! C:/perl/bin

use warnings;
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);
use LWP::Authen::Ntlm;

my $usr="";
my $pw="";
  
my $url='http://www.mysite.com';
my $robot=WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck => 0, keep_alive=>1);

$robot->credentials($url, '', $usr, $pw);
$robot->get("$url/intranetadmin/index.php");;

my $response = $robot->response();
    for my $key ( $response->header_field_names() ) {
        print $key, " : ", $response->header( $key ), "\n";
    }

Many thanks ! Benoit
