Retriving Files from server

Hi,

I've got an account in a website. After login there's a page that has several files that I want to download. Well, this task must be done 2 times a day - so I want to automate the process using a Perl script - the website gave me authorization for that, but doesn't give any support. The problem is: how do I do this? If I try normally, it tells me that the "Session has timed out or no session cookie was found" ( using get $url, where $url=http:// www.name.com/login.pl").
How do I enter with the password and username and retrieve the file?

Best regards,

Kepler
