[MacPerl] Perl Sockets on the Mac - Once Step Furthur

["Chipper C. Cuntz" <chipperc@msgpop.cs.mci.com>]

I used the script the Paul J. Schiner posted and it worked great.  Now I whould
like to know if anyone can point me in the direction of infromation regarding
how the authorization window is presented back to the user in your typical
browser.

Exapmle:

If I submit a URL via the browser to the respective cgi the browser then
presents the user with a window asking for User/Pass.

Goal:

What I would like to do is simulate this entry of User/Pass with a
(hopefully minor) change to the code snippet to get URLs.  This would
enable a download of the file I am after.  What are the mechanics of this?
Can this be done via MacPerl?

Any help would be cool.
