I am attempting to use WWW::Mechanize for the first time, and am having
some trouble with authentication. The page I'm trying to authenticate
to uses a pop-up prompt for user/pass, which seems to be what's causing
my problems. I've tried just about everything I can think of, but no
luck. I'm hoping for some help from the list...

Here's the gist of what my latest attempt was:

my $user =3D "user";
my $pass =3D "pass";
my $url =3D http://url.com/url.html;
my $mech =3D WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->credentials($url,$user,$pass);=20
$ret =3D $mech->get($url);
=20
Unfortunately, this is not authenticating successfully. Part of the
hash returned to $ret contains "'_msg' =3D> 'Unauthorized'", as well as =
a
text message reponse indicating authentication failure.

How can I go about authenticating to a site like this? Any help would
be most appreciated.

Thanks.
