PerlSufi has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks,
I want to extract cookies from a website. Particularly, JSESSIONID cookie. However, when I run the code below, nothing turns up in my file except '#LWP-Cookies-1.0'. 
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;


my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new( file => 'C:\path\to\cookies.dat',
+ autosave=> 1);

my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new( );

$browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

$browser->get('https://example.com');

Any insight into what I'm doing wrong is greatly appreciated!
