I understand how to pass 'get' and 'post' data using LWP::UserAgent, but I need to pass a cookie. I read through CPAN's LWP and HTTP::Cookies and many of the posts on PM, but I'm just not getting it.
I see things like this that require a file to store cookies.
$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "$ENV{'HOME'}/lwp_cookies.dat
+')
All I want to do is pass on a known cookie. So I tried this but it does not work.
use strict
use CGI
use LWP::UserAgent;
## Get cookie already set on browser.
my $q = new CGI;
my $value = $q->cookie('name');
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->cookie_jar({ 'name'=> $value });
my $response = $ua->get('http://domain.com/cgi-bin/stats.cgi');
my $stats = ($response->is_success) ? $response->content : '';

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
