HTTP::Cookies::Netscape - access to Netscape cookies files
use LWP; use HTTP::Cookies::Netscape; $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Netscape->new( file => "c:/program files/netscape/users/ZombieCharity/cookies.txt", ); my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new; $browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );
This is a subclass of HTTP::Cookies that reads (and optionally writes) Netscape/Mozilla cookie files.
HTTP::Cookies
See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies.
Please note that the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format can't store all the information available in the Set-Cookie2 headers, so you will probably lose some information if you save in this format.
Might someone write a class for MSIE cookies? Or at least for reading them?
