    Your problem description is unclear. What problem are you trying to solve?

    Are you trying to automate an existing web site? Then look at WWW::Mechanize. I recommend learning about what HTTP is and how it works. Browsers generally do GET, HEAD and POST requests.

    Are you trying to write a new web site? Then look at CGI::Session (or Dancer, or Mojolicious, who both also have session handling).
