Perl simple login script need pls help

Scrilla has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello :) i will write a Perl script for my Debian Server. This script target the login to this site: https://plex.tv/users/sign_in/ Here is my code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
use Crypt::SSLeay;
use WWW::Mechanize;
    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();

    my $url = "https://plex.tv/users/sign_in";
    $mech->agent('User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X
+ 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.7');
    $mech->get($url);
    print $mech->status;

    $result = $mech->submit_form(
    form_id => new_user, #name of the form
    #instead of form name you can specify
    #form_number => 1
    fields      =>
    {
     user_login    => 'test', # name of the input field and value
     user_password    => 'test',
    }
    ,button    => 'commit' #name of the submit button
    );


my $app_content = $mech->content();
print "$app_content\n";

I think it not works, because the "print" is the standard content. I hope anywhere can help me. Sorry for my bad english, thank you very much.

Read up on the documentation on how to see what the server has sent back, specifically `->response`. You could either `print` or use Data::Dumper to display the response/response object and see if your requests are actually succeeding or not. Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax, you're god damn right I'm living in the fucking past	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You need `$mech->submit_form( with_fields => { 'user[login]' => 'test', 'user[password]' => 'test', }, button => 'commit', );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
