Please can someone let me know how to retrieve a pdf document from a webpage? $agent->{content} returns the last "real" html page. How do I get the pdf document? Thanks, Doug

This is resolved. We finally figured out that we needed to use the ignore_discard option in the cookie_jar and save the cookies to disk. $agent->cookie_jar( HTTP::Cookies->new( 'file' => $cookiefile, # where to read/write cookies 'autosave' => 1, # save it to disk when done c # save even cookies that are requested to be discarded )); It would have saved a lot of time if this were mentioned somewhere within the documentation of the mechanize cpan page.

That would be great. Please send along a patch to the docs that explain the problem and why. I don't understand it myself from what you said, so you're the best to write it up. Thanks, Andy
