this has got to be something simple/stupid :)

I'm trying to authenticate to a website and grab a file and I'm failing to see what I'm doing wrong here: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use LWP;
  
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new( );
$browser->credentials("http://hostname.domain.com:80/OPDATA/Config/Vie
+w.pcgi?DEVICE=WLC&JOB_TYPE=download&TITLE=1&JOB_STATUS=any", "EMAN Pr
+otected Resource", "myusername", "mypassword");
my $response = $browser->get("http://hostname.domain.com/OPDATA/Config
+/View.pcgi?DEVICE=WLC&JOB_TYPE=download&TITLE=1&JOB_STATUS=any");
print $response->content;

[download]

The thing of it is, I *KNOW* that my realm/username/pass is correct (I can auth just fine with wget, or a regular browser for instance).. but for some reason, the above code fails to authenticate. any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
