in thread problem login using WWW::Mechanize

Really thanx... lot


 But dude can you tell me , how can i remember cookies? 
this is very important because, i want to extract meta data's ( title, Genre, ...and torrent url .torrent) for a particular    movie and this has to be in loop . I have the code to do so,  
     Now the question is it asks (bittorrent) user name and password every time i entered rented page, 
  If you are using a browser then once you login then browser remembers the cookies and you need not to login again and again... and you can enter any page and access any content.

I just want the same task to be automated. I have the code that does all automation but i have stuckked in Login and remembering cookies please can you siggest me....
you can also mail me @ shekarkcb@gmail.com


Thanx,
Shekar

      Thanx Again...

      So you mean to say that the below code examples the same right?


      
use HTTP::Cookies;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $cookiefile = 'cookies.txt';
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(File => $cookiefile, autosave =>1);
my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 );
$m->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);
my $url="https://www.bittorrent.com/account/signin";
$m->get($url);
$m->submit_form(
      form_number => 2,
      fields      => {
         username    => 'abcd',
         password    => 'abcd',
      }
);


my $content= $m->content;

      and from now you can use $m to do any thing i mean to say can i use $m to get content of any linked page inside the login page ??? something like this??

      if($content =~ m/<li id=\"movies\"><a href=\"(.*?)\" title=\"Movies\">
+Movies<\/a><\/li>/i)
{
        my $movie = $1;
        $m->get($movie);
        my $content_1 = $m->content;
        if($content_1 =~ m/<h3><a href=\"(.*?)\" title=\"\">Browse All
+<\/a><\/h3>/i)
        {
                my $movie_1 = $1;
                $movie_1 \n";
                $m->get($movie_1)||die ("\nCan't Get the Browse URL\n"
+);
                my $content_2 = $m->content;
                if($content_2 =~ m/<li><a href=\"(.*?)\">Rent<\/a><\/l
+i>/i)
                {
                        my $movie_2 = $1;
                        $movie_2=~ s/&amp;/&/g;
                        $m->get($movie_2)||die("\nCant Get The Rent UR
+L\n");
                        $content_3 = $m->content;
                 }       
        
                }
                else
                {
                        print "Not Matched Rent URL\n";
                }
        }
        else
                        {
                print "\nSorry Not Matched Browse All\n";
        }}
else
{
        print "\nNot matched Movie page\n";
}
