No extra module is needed. WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent,
which supports it.
my $ua = new WWW::Mechanize();
$ua->credentials('www.myhostname.com:80', 'RealmName', 'user', 'pass');
$ua->get('http://www.myhostname.com');
print $ua->content;
The params are host/port, realm, username, password.
The realm should be visible in the login box (in IE6 it is).
See LWP::UserAgent for more info... although it doesn't say much about that
function.

Subject: authenticate module
Hi,
I like to use WWW::Mechanize to scrape a website.
However the website has a authentication page. Is
there a perl module I can use to perform the
authentication ?
Thanks,
Raghu
