Hello, I'm relatively new to perl, I was trying to create a perl script to remote login in a web form and return either sucess or failure. but its not working or i'm missing something, plus it give me an error message: Here is what i wrote:
#!/usr/bin/perl use LWP::UserAgent; use HTTP::Response; use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST); $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->agent("Mozilla 8.0..."); $username = "username"; $password = "password"; my $req = (POST 'http://www.domain.com/login.php', ["Username" => "$username", "Password" => "$password"]); $request = $ua->request($req); $content = $request->content; if ($res->is_success) { print ("success"); exit; } else { print ("failure"); }
this script is not running at all and the error i'm getting is:

Can't call method "is_success" on an undefined value at c:\remotelogin.pl line 24.
