See WWW:::Mechanize and credentials and the WWW::Mechanize::Cookbook especially Fetch a password-protected page.
Then try do fetch the page manually. Double check if Firefox has already stored a username and password for you.
Next step is to build your code in small steps to see whats going on:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( stack_depth => 1,
timeout => 180,
autocheck => 1 );
# Part 1
my $url = 'http://somewhere.tld';
$mech->get($url);
__END__
# Part 2
#
my $username = '';
my $password = '';
$mech->form_name('loginform');
$mech->field(login => $username);
$mech->field(passwd => $password);
$mech->click(); # Which button?
# Part 3
my $outpage = $mech->content();
my $outfile = 'output.html';
# Always use the three argument form of open
open(OUTFILE, ">", $outfile) or die $!;
print OUTFILE "$outpage";
close(OUTFILE) or die $!;
BTW: Please read Markup in the Monastery.
Hope this helps.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
