send username and password with lwp:simple

[john brown]

I'm using the following code to retrieve a web page. It seems that
I'm able to pass the username and password to the web page, but it
does nothing. Looking at the source code of the web page it asks for
an "OnClick", which I figure refers to the "enter" button, (there's
also a reset button after the "enter" button.) I do I go about send
the information and finalizing it with the "OnClick" or "enter" button
in the page. Here's the script I am using. Thanks in advance.

my $url = 'http://192.168.0.1?Username=myuser&Password=mypass';
# Connection to host "pfinal"

use LWP::Simple;
my $content = get $url;
die "Couldn't get $url" unless defined $content;
$content = get($url);
print $content;

print $content;

use HTML::Form;

$request = $form->click('submit');
my $res = $ua->request($request);

this should get you further.

Thanks for the quick response. I've tried it, but I get an error when
I try include HTML::FORM. Still working on it.
