If your company is in the business of doing web automation, consider asking your colleagues about Wireshark or whatever other protocol sniffer they use to analyze the network traffic.

Whenever your browser is behaving different from your Perl script, that means that the browser is sending data to the server that is different from the data your Perl script sends. Find out and remove the difference, and the server will treat you just like it treats the browser.

Also see WWW:Scripter and/or WWW::Mechanize::Firefox.
