hi, folks.
I have a task that ask me to import the addressbook from Hotmail/MSN/Live.
recently Hotmail is upgraded to its new login.live.com and it seems using a lot of Javascript in its login interface. see http://www.hotmail.com/
and I tried to use WWW::Mechanize:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(
    agent => 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)',
    cookie_jar => {},
    stack_depth => 1,
    autocheck => 1,
);

$mech->get('http://www.hotmail.com');

$mech->submit_form(
    form_name => 'f1',
    fields => {
        login  => 'myemail@hotmail.com',
        passwd => 'passwd',
        LoginOptions => 3,
    }
);

print $mech->content();

It keeps telling me that my email and password is incorrect. but I can login by my browser indeed.
I would wonder if someone is in the same situation and offer me a help. Thanks a lot.
PS, WWW::Hotmail is too much outdated.
