I have been using WWW::Mechanize for several months to gather information from a secure website. On 1/8/11, the certificate expired. I replaced the cert with the new one and I now am unable to get logged in. Occasionally, it will log in, but when I go to the next page i need, it's back to the login screen again. 
 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use Crypt::SSLeay;
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(file => 'cookie', autosave=>1, ign
+ore_discard => 1);

my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new(cookie_jar => $cookie_jar, autocheck =
+> 0);
$ENV{HTTPS_CA_DIR} = 'cert/';


    my $user = 'xxxx';
    my $pass = 'xxxx';
    
    $url = 'https://psmsadmin.vzw.com/vzw-scat-ui/Welcome.do';
    $agent->get($url);
    $agent->form_name('loginForm');
    $agent->set_fields(
        userId => $user,
        password => $pass
    );    
    $agent->submit();
    print $agent->{content};

    $agent->form_name('groupForm');
    $agent->submit();
