Re^2: Help Fetch HTML

Thank you for your replies. The form I need to login is at https://secure.dutysheet.com/ I think it uses cookies to store login credentials. When I use the above method by Zentara it just copies the login page to the file. Cheers, Neil.

I don't know if it will get you past the login page, but it's worth a try. To my code above, add a cookie jar. `my $jar = HTTP::Cookies->new; $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->cookie_jar($jar);` [download] If that don't work, you will need WWW::Mechanize. See WWW:::Mechanize and credentials and WWW::Mechanize to Access HTTPS with Cookies for basic outlines of what you need to do. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
