Brethren,
I'm struggling with this for a while now and it seems i can't get it to work. I have written a script to log into PM, it runs smooth, just it doesn't work/login. 
use warnings;
use strict;

use Digest::SHA1 qw( sha1_hex );
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);

login($ARGV[0], $ARGV[1]);

sub login 
{
    my ($user, $pass) = @_;
    
    my $kennung = sha1_hex("$user + $pass");
    
    my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(
        file => "/cookies/$kennung.dat",
        autosave => 1,
    );
    
    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( cookie_jar => $cookie_jar );

    my $resp = $mech->get( 'http://www.perlmonks.org?node_id=109' );

    die "HTTP-Error 1\n"
        unless $resp->is_success;

    $resp = $mech->submit_form(
        form_name  => 'login',
        fields => {
            user     => $user,
            passwd   => $pass,
        }
    );

    die "HTTP-Error 2\n"
        unless $resp->is_success;

    if ( $resp->content =~ /<a href="\?node_id=109;op=logout">/ )
    {
        print "log in ok";
    }
    else
    {
        print "could not log in";
    }
}
