Dear PerlMonks, I have a requirement to open a website and log into it with the credentials. I used a simple program like below 
use Win32;

#For correct perl programming and to avoid warnings in programs
use strict;
use warnings;

##Variable declaration
my $link="http://www.perlmonks.com";
my $ie="\"c:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe\"";

##Command to launch desired website through Internet explorer
system("$ie $link");

[download]
Now the problem is to specify the username and password and getting access to the other links and tabs available. I tried with LWP::UserAgent, but i wasnt able to login to the website. Considering perlmonks.com as the website...how do i go about solving this problem. Please help me on this as i have just begun with Perl programming. Thanks, Nisha
