Hello Monks -- I know there are some great people whom I really respect & looking for help/advice from them (I want to say very clearly Martin/similar type people just stay away from my posting -- I don't need any lecture from you). Nothing to hide, I am new in this world and naturally don't know much. I will apprecitae any honest advice/help. My purpose (possibly very simple to you) is to log into a secured site and navigate to other places. I can log in, navigate to one level but then can''t go forward. Thanks in advance. 
#!c:\\perl\\bin
use LWP::Debug qw(+);
use strict;
use Win32::IEAutomation;
use Win32::IEAutomation::WinClicker; 
my $user = "xxxxxxxxx";
my $pass = "xxxxxx";
my $ie = Win32::IEAutomation->new();
$ie->gotoURL('https://xxx.xxx.com/'); 
sleep 2;     
my $clicker = Win32::IEAutomation::WinClicker->new();
$ie->getTextBox('name:', "USER")->SetValue($user);
$ie->getTextBox('name:', "PASSWORD")->SetValue($pass);
$ie->getButton('caption:', "Login")->Click;

sleep 2;
$ie->getFrame("name:", "header")->getLink("linktext:", "Reports")->Cli

# Working up to here but can't go any further. The next page is also a frame but when I look at the source code, it's almost same as the previous page! So, no getFrame/getLink/Click working on items there. Any thought? If you ask me to provide anything more, I will surely do that.
