in thread keep a user signed in

It's not to log into a site that has limited log ins, it's to log in and keep my account fresh and active. The web site appears to have more than one server and depending on the hour of the day, the server that executes logins is very slow and can often times timeout a number of times before it'll let you through.

Once you're logged in, everything is fine. So if my account was already logged in, I'd never have to worry about not being able to login again.

    Have you tried complaining to the webmaster? ;-)

    Sometimes technical problems can be solved easier with social answers. Like communication. After all, you're probably not the only person having this login problem.

    I'm not convinced. That behaviour is completely symptomatic of a site that limits logins. However, take a look at WWW::Mechanize.
