There is a site that spits out a text file that is created using a CGI program and displayed on a web page... I'm trying to use the get method by going: 
$html = get("http://foldtraj.mshri.on.ca/cgi-bin/conform/foldtraj?nums
+truc=1&KinemageReader=63&filein=.%2Fdata%2F9_Joey2.trj&save=See&dopt=
+r&keepfilein=1&numlock=0");
open (FILE, ">tempdata.dat") or die "could not open this data file";
print FILE $html;
close FILE;

[download]

.. and then saving the html that I get in a file so that I can manipulate that file.

When I do that, it says that I have an invalid user, since from where I'm running the perl script I don't have the correct cookie information that is needed.

When that address is put directly into a browser, it runs correctly and the text file desired is displayed, since I'm on their site and their cookie is already in my browser...

Is there anyway to have this work by having a cookie of my own or some other way?
