Gracious Monks,

I'm using the code below to grab a webpage that requires a username and password. 

        $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
          $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://webpage/bio/view-sn
+p/$snp_number');
          $req->authorization_basic('user', 'pass');
          print $ua->request($req)->as_string;

The problem as you might well enough see (since perl monks are omniscent) is that my variable is not being interpreted in this context (i have no experience with this code). I was previously using get() which does interpret variable strings.

Not sure what to do so that i can have the variable interpreted.

What do you think?
