For some reason, The following code works perfectly on windows machine but fails on FreeBSD.
I have updated all the modules on FreeBSD and am running perl 5.6 1 on both machines.
The post simply fails on FreeBSD with no errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
$|++;

use LWP;
use HTTP;
use HTTP;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file=>'cookie_jar', autosave=>1));
my $r = $ua->simple_request(POST "http://www.somesite.com/Login.jsp",
                            {
                             requiredUserName => '123abc',
                             requiredPassword => 'abc123',
                             'Submit' => 'Sign in',
                            });
while ($r->is_redirect) {
    my $u = $r->header('location') or die "missing location: ",
    $r->as_string;
    print "redirecting to $u\n";
    $r = $ua->simple_request(GET $u);
    }
if ($r->is_success) {
    print $r->content;
    }
else{
    print "failed";
    }
exit;
