Robot Perl module

Does anyone know if there is a Robot/Spider Perl module that supports
HTTP authentication and HTTPs connections? I know about WWW:Robot and
the LWP:* modules but I wasn't able to find a module that combines the
authentication features of LWP into a Robot.

Essentially I want to spider websites that may require HTTP
authentication or an HTTP/S connection.

Thanks. I'll take a look on CPAN.
