in reply to quick LWP question

From the LWP::UserAgent documentation:

$ua->credentials( $netloc, $realm, $uname, $pass )

Get/set the user name and password to be used for a realm.

The $netloc is a string of the form "<host>:<port>". The username and password will only be passed to this server. Example:

$ua->credentials("www.example.com:80", "Some Realm", "foo", "secret");

Doesn't look like the value you're using for $netloc follows the format defined in the docs.

    $browser->credentials("hostname.domain.com:80", "EMAN Protected Resour
+ce", "myusername", "mypassword");
