login/password with LWP::Simple

[defdefdef]

Hi,
I need to parse a XML file which is in a protected folder.
Is it possible to include my login/password in LWP::Simple ???
Thanks,

is it in a web page?? You can usually do

http://username:password@www.webpageblah.com

Hi,
It's a XML file that I want to Parse.
I try to use use LWP::UserAgent;

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $link);
$req->authorization_basic('login', 'password');
$document = $ua->request($req)->as_string;

but ->as_string returns a text version of the document that I can't parse.
I tried to do : $document = $ua->request($req);
but there isan error.

why can't you parse the text version of the document?

usually I use :
my $link = "

http://www.pipo.com/pipo.xml";

my $document = get($link);
my $xp = XML::XPath->new(xml => $document);

but with the authentification :
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $link = "

http://www.pipo.com/pipo.xml";

$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $link);
$req->authorization_basic('login', 'password');
$document = $ua->request($req)->as_string;
my $xp = XML::XPath->new(filename => $document);

I have an error with XPath (line 53) ??
any ideas,
