Thank you for the answer. I had a look th WWW::Mechanize and it does almost everything that i need.
The only thing i cannot understand is: how can i forward the cookie to the real browser? I need to fetch it from the real login page and then forward it to the referrer... -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Bret Swedeen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: luned́ 28 febbraio 2005 19.39 A: Andrea Setti Oggetto: Re: Help!! I'm stuck! - using LWP for single sign on purposes As Andy Lester mentioned in his previous response...use WWW::Mechanize as it will make this type of task much easier. Also, since you are authenicating with a username and password, that transaction might occur over https. In that case you will also need the mod Crypt::SSLeay to handle the SSL piece of communication. Finally, don't forget to enable cookies in your code. Near the top add the line "use HTTP::Cookies;" Spend some time with WWW::Mechanize, it is well worth the time spent.
