yes, sorry i meant LWP::UserAgent. The thing is, i am using identical methods in both scripts, and lwp is working, and mech isnt. My objects are: 
y $agent = LWP::UserAgent->new(cookie_jar => HTTP::Cookies->new, reque
+sts_redirectable => [ 'GET', 'HEAD', 'POST' ]);
$agent->agent( 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8
+.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14');
$agent->default_header('Accept' => "text/xml,application/xml,applicati
+on/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5", 
               'Accept-Language' => "en-us,en;q=0.5",
               'Accept-Charset' => "ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7",
               'Keep-Alive' => "300",
               'Connection' => "keep-alive");

and 
my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck=>1, agent=> 'Mozilla/5.0 (Wi
+ndows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/
+2.0.0.14');
$agent->max_redirect(100);
$agent->default_header('Accept' => "text/xml,application/xml,applicati
+on/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5", 
               'Accept-Language' => "en-us,en;q=0.5",
               'Accept-Charset' => "ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7",
               'Accept-Encoding' => "gzip,deflate",
               'Keep-Alive' => "300",
               'Connection' => "keep-alive",
               'TE' => "");
