Hello,

I'm quite new to PERL. I'm trying to automate login to an application. Issue: Manually, once I enter the credentials and hit submit, it goes to a processing page and finally automatically goes to the homepage if login is valid. I'm trying to simulate this thru perl mechanize module. The form seems to get submitted, but the print response I get is the HTML of the processing page. My question is: how can I handle this processing page within the script?

This is what I've tried till now; 
#! C:/Perl/lib/WWW
use WWW::Mechanize;
use strict;
$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME}=0;

my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck => 1);

my $url="https://rp6.bench.ehc.adp.com/siteminderagent/forms/LSPRH3/lo
+gin.fcc?TYPE=33554433&REALMOID=06-7d0449cd-e3ed-10fb-9f50-8498490a0cb
+3&GUID=&SMAUTHREASON=0&METHOD=GET&SMAGENTNAME=-SM-s2uV8pMx7pQ%2byUUrf
+iIGkme9FfRRMzZ8AkgpHMTZaaKvrgCvd%2fA99CuE2IG3sVvp&TARGET=-SM-https%3a
+%2f%2frp6%2ebench%2eehc%2eadp%2ecom%2findex_lsprh%2ehtml";

$m->get($url);
$m->success or die "login GET fail";

my $user='bdos0101-b01';
my $pass='bench_0';

my $login = $m->form_name("loginform");


$m->forms;
$m->form_name('loginform');
$login->value('USER' => $user);
$login->value('password' => $pass);

$m->submit();
$m->success or die "login POST fail";

print "Login done\n";
#print $m->content();
