Thanks for suggesting WWW::Mechanize. I'm getting a little further, but I think my problem now is that I can't get cookies working. When I authenticate, the appropriate page is returned, but the next page I request prompts me to log in again. Here's my code:
use HTTP::Cookies;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $cj = HTTP::Cookies->new( autosave => 1, ignore_discard => 1 );

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( cookie_jar => $cj );

$mech->get( 'http://example.com/login.action' );

if ($mech->success())
{
    $mech->submit_form( form_name => 'loginform', fields => { os_usern
+ame => 'username', os_password => 'password' } );
}

if ($mech->success())
{
    $mech->follow_link( text => 'Training'); # This is where I get red
+irected to the login page again!
}

Am I using cookies improperly, or is there some other problem with my code?
