mechanize and redirect

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

i have a problem when trying to log into blogger with mechanize, there was a similar thread but there was no solution there so i decided to post.
so basically using mech i submit the username and password then it checks the cookies and goes to this page and just gets stuck there...

<html> <head> <title>  Redirecting  </title>
