in thread http get with perl, help needed

I'd use either LWP::UserAgent, and define a get_basic_credentials method; use LWP::Simple and call $ua->credentials(); read the manual page of wget and detect it has --http-user and --http-passwd options, and it also willing to read a username/password from configuration files; or use WWW::Mechanize and call credentials().

    Thank you very much for your reponses. Im using a ua, but im going against windows auth. Still looking around on how to make this work.
    $ua->credentials("http://test.com:80", "test", 'user', 'pass');
