Getting documents that are protected by basic auth

I'm going nuts. I've read all the online docs, and found some books, but
for the life of me I can't get a password protected doc. I put a sniffer
on the link, and found that the script isn't even sending the auth info to
the server at all. Here's the code which tries to print out the page:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;
use HTTP::Response;
use strict;
my $passwd = 'myname';
my $uname = 'mypass';
my $domain = 'My Realm Name';
my $agent = 'linuxkb-modperl';
my $url = 'http://devel.linuxkb.org/todo.html';
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$ua->agent($agent);
$ua->credentials($url, $domain, $uname, $passwd);
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);
$request->referer("http://localhost/");
my $response = $ua->request($request);
print $response->content;
What is wrong??? Why will it send the referrer and agent info, but not
the http-auth info?
