WWW::Automate and ASP server

Cody Pendant has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to use WWW::Automate to log into an ASP application and do some work.

I get logged in, then try to go to the URL/follow the link of the actual page where the work will be done, and I get this in the content:

<head><title>Object moved</title></head>
<body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This object may be found <a HREF="">here</a
+>.</body>
[download]

Obviously there's some kind of redirect/HTTP Location header thing happening, and WWW::Auto isn't following it? Any idea how to overcome this?

WWW::Automate's successor is WWW::Mechanize

See #1. See LWP::Debug. Learn HTTP :)
