Script access to Web page with User Authentication

Subject: Script access to Web page with User Authentication   Hi to all I need script access to a Web page which request user authentication (using MSIE or Netscape, I'm presented with a "Network Password" window where I have to supply user name and password). I would access the content of this page through a Perl script, to which I pass username and password and from which I would have returned the HTML content. Is this possible? Where can I get some samples? What is the better way to do this (another scripting language?)? What about if the Web page is an HTTPS one? Thanks for your support. Bye. Lorenzo
