He just did. Though it sounds like you have a more complicated environment setup than adding in basic auth credentials is going to address. You might need some proxy magic if your authentication is really automatic outside of Mech. The problem isn't well enough defined to know what's going on though.

The Problem is:

I can access a web page "http://eonet.level3.com" using IE, but when i try to access the same page using WWW::Mechanzie or LWP::UserAgent i am getting "401 Unauthorized" error.

I have given below the code is used and the output i got

The Code:

#!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe
use LWP::Simple;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Response;
use HTML::LinkExtor;
my $URL= "http://eonet.level3.com/";
$browser = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$browser->timeout(10);
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $URL);
my $response = $browser->request($request);
if ($response->is_error()) {printf "%s\n", $response->status_line;}
$contents = $response->content();
#print $contents;
print $response->status_line(), "\n";
print $response->headers()->as_string();


Output when i run the program:

C:\Documents and Settings\g.venkatesan\Desktop>perl lwp_test.pl
