Hello Cardinal,:)

I really apologize for disturbing you a lot over a single topic but i joined this community to learn a lot of perl. Please bear with me.
I changed my code as you suggested and guess what, i am getting 500 Internal server error
#!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;

my $url= 'http://punsez138451d/L3NOCALM/default.aspx';

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent(keep_alive => 1);
$ua->credentials('punsez138451d:80','',"INFLEVEL3\\Venkatesan_G02",'pa
+ssword');

$request = GET $url;
print "--Performing request now...------------------\n";

$response =  $ua->request($request);
print "--Done with request---------------------------\n";

if ($response -> is_success)
{
    print "It worked!->". $response->code. "\n";
}
else
{
    print "It didn't work!->". $response->code. "\n";
}

$contents = $response -> content();

#print "$contents\n";

open(FH,">C:/eonet.html");

print FH $contents;

close FH;

print $response->status_line(), "\n";
print $response->headers()->as_string();

    Sounds like a problem with the .aspx script (not an auth/autz problem). Check the server's logs.

      punsez138451d/L3NOCALM is not a host name. The authentication was working in the previous post. 
      http://punsez138451d/L3NOCALM/default.aspx'

      [download]
      is short for 
      http://punsez138451d:80/L3NOCALM/default.aspx'

      [download]
      where
      • "http" is the scheme.
      • "punsez138451d" is the host name.
      • "80" is the host port.
      • "/default.aspx" is the path.

      The credentials are for the entire host, specified using it's name and it's port.
