Login script

Hi,

I'm trying to log into a protected resource using a custom form instead of
the default browser login box.

I found a shareware script called csPassword (
http://www.cgiscript.net/site_apps.htm ) but the script is an overkill for
my needs. Is there a simple way to login into a protected resource with a
perl script? All I need is to enter the userid and the password and then be
redirected to the resource.

TIA
robert,
