The Javascript on the page you retrieved is simply redirecting you to this location. And LWP::UserAgent does not understand this, as it has no embedded Javascript engine :)

Generally, if you want to process pages containing JavaScript with LWP::UserAgent, you must carefully read all javascript on the pages you retrieve and decide what workaround to choose in every certain case.

In the worst cases Javascript module is the only solution.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
