I solved my problem by loading the PROPER cookie file. I was failing before
because I was loading a cookie file in from a session in which I had not
checked an auto-login box. By creating a new cookie file from a browsing
session where I did check the box, I am able to access protected documents.

Hi Andrew
Read some past messages on this list from me. I think I've made the same
guesses about fifty times now ;-/ and most of the debugging hints are
always taken from the same fairly small set. Feel free to come back if
you've tried those and are still stuck, of course!
IIRC this list is on gmane now, so it should be easy to search.
Does this list have a FAQ, anybody?
My own FAQs (Python, not Perl, but that's not really all *that* relevant):
http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/bits/GeneralFAQ.html
http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/ClientCookie/doc.html#debugging
Other standard responses:
1. use WWW::Mechanize
2. perdoc lwpcook
