I am trying to upload an Amazon page for screen-scraping The page I get with LWP::Simple; is different than the page I get from pasting the URL (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0394756673/ref=nosim/bookreadersre-20 ) into a browser. The page from the browser has a string "offer-listing" in the HTML source, the page from lwp does not.

I have tried being logged in or out of Amazon to see if that would cause a change. No difference.

Here is the code. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
print "test_get.pl\n";
my $amazon_url = 
q{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0394756673/ref=nosim/bookread
+ersre-20};
my $page = get ($amazon_url);
open FILE , '>temp2' or die "Cannot open temp2\n";
print FILE $page;

my $sought_string = q{offer-listing};
if ($page =~ /$sought_string/){
    print "Found it\n";
}
else {
    print "No luck\n";
}

The result of running the code is "No Luck"

Update

imp's reply works. Also I already use Net::Amazon, the API does not contain the information that I need.
