Dear PerlMonks,
I just begun Perl about a week ago.
I program a bit in C/C++ so im only new to Perl.

The goal of the script:
I have written a script to do basic authentication
and get a html document from a website (it's just a start of a script)

The problem:
The website want's me to accept cookies before i can
continue, so i added a cookiejar to the script so that LWP::UserAgent would accept cookies.


(i got that idea from this site: http://lwp.interglacial.com/ch11_01.htm)

But when i run the script i get the error page telling me to enable cookies in my browser so that i can continue.
What am i doing wrong? 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

    use strict;
      use warnings;

    use LWP;
    use HTML::TreeBuilder;
    use HTML::FormatText;
    use HTTP::Cookies;

    
    
    my $url = 'https://timetables.website.x.y.z/dir/';
      
    my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new();

      my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new();
         $browser->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);
         $browser->agent('Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows N
+T 6.0)');
       $browser->from('my email');
       $browser->protocols_allowed( ['https'] );
       
       
      
         


#User Credentials for access to the website.x.y.z realm.
         
         $browser->credentials(
         'timetables.website.x.y.z:443', #website and port
         'timetables.website.x.y.z', #realm
         'user' => 'pass' # user credentials
    );


    my $response = $browser->get($url);
        die "Error at $url\n ", $response->status_line, "\n Aborting"
        unless $response->is_success;
        print "OK",
       $response->content_type, " document!\n";

    
    my $content =  $response->decoded_content;

    my $html = new HTML::TreeBuilder;
    $html->parse($content);
    
    my $f = new HTML::FormatText(leftmargin => 0, rightmargin => 0);
    print $f->format($html);
