snaporaz, here's the code I've used with WWW::Mechanize, without using eval

#!/usr/bin/env perl5.8.6

use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller;


my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
my $formfiller = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller->new();


## Grab the home page, 

$mech->get("http://someurl");

my $msg= <<EOF;
Couldn't get the xxxx portal.
EOF

  #If not success, send mail and print the response output

  $mech->success or die  send_mail("Subject: xxxx Portal down", $msg_b
+os) ,
      $mech->response->status_line;
      
 ## Store new HTML content in a temporary file and open it for viewing
+.
 open (OUT,">/tmp/login.results");
 print OUT $mech->content();
 close (OUT);  

exit(0);
