    Hello, I was able to get data from using 
    use LWP::UserAgent;
  $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
  $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.linpro.no/secret/');
  $req->authorization_basic('aas', 'mypassword');
  print $ua->request($req)->as_string;

    however, how do you access the orignal site that I want go to instead of me retrival data from the site?

      In essence you don't. Because the authentication has been granted to your CGI script, not to the user.
