I'm not sure if anyone can help.

I wrote a script that automatically posts pictures to picposts. This is something I use everyday and makes the process automated so that I can do other things once I set it up and type it in.
Anyway, it worked perfect for awhile; Just the other day I tried it and it stated a message on there "my" screen stating: "ive been banned" i emailed them; they say im not banned.
Heres the clintcher: I type in all my "usual" info exactly the same info as my script AND IT WORKS perfectly.
My question is: im obvisouly using LWP:useragent; http:headers; http:request and CGI to be able to accomplish this. Sending in all my own info makes there script think im actually doing it manually. I dont have time to do this everyday without my script.

I need to know from all you Professionals: What could "maybe" they have put into there "cgi-bin" files to prevent me from posting thru my script BUT, allow it to work if i do it manually.
I dont belive its cookies and iam already sending in http_referrer;http_host;server_name to there script. I m sorry for being long winded!

Heres an example but not the actual LONG script there is lots of missing pieces of this code I left out:
#!/usr/bin/perl


use CGI;
use HTTP::Headers;
use HTTP::Request;
use LWP::UserAgent;
$q = new CGI;

$posttourl = "http://www.theposturlhere.com/cgi-bin/post.cgi";
$refererurl = "http://www.theposturlrefererhere.com/cgi-bin/post.cgi";


$q = new CGI( {
    pic_url=>"$pictureurl",
    description =>$picturedes,
    banner_url=>$bannerurl,
    banner_link=>$siteurl,
    banner_text=>$bannertext,
    email=>$email,
    nickname=>$poster,
    category=>$postcat,
    action=>"done",
});

$formdata = $q->query_string;

$h = new HTTP::Headers(
    Accept=>'*/*',
    Referer=> $refererurl,
    user_agent=>'Mozilla/4.5',
    virtual_host=>'216.and so on,
    server_name=>'www.thesite.com',
    script_name=>'/post.cgi',
    remote_host=>'www.thesiteagain.com',
    http_user_agent=>'Mozilla/4.5',
    Content_Type=>'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
);

$req = new HTTP::Request(
    "POST",
    $posttourl,
    $h
);

$req->content($formdata);

$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$ua->agent( "Mozilla/4.5" );


$response = $ua->request($req);

print $q->header;#blah blah
print $q->start_html(-script=>$JSCRIPT);

print $response->content;

print $q->end_html;
