in thread Stay logged in between requests with WWW::Mechanize

I'm not an expert at this, but why would a browser, or WWW:Mechanize write a session cookie to a file? It's only supposed to be around as long as the browser is running, so keeping it in memory only makes sense.

That's logical, but I want it to DWIW! I guess the logical thing is that I would keep my script running in an endless loop, i.e. instead of a cron job running every five minutes, I run my script with `while(1)` and a five-minute `sleep()`? I don't love that idea. Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I don't love that idea. Have you tried what the Anonymous Monk suggested? from HTTP::Cookies: `ignore_discard: save even cookies that are requested to be discar +ded (bool)` [download] Sounds like made for exactly that purpose...	[reply] [d/l]
