No need to set up a cookie jar, Mechanize has a built-in one.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
use WWW::Mechanize qw();
use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper);
my $url = 'http://www.google.com';
my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new; # do not disable autocheck, it's useful
my $response = $m->get($url);
my $cookie_jar = $m->cookie_jar; # returns a HTTP::Cookies object
$cookie_jar->scan(sub { print Dumper \@_ });
# cookies are sent with subsequent requests
$m->get($url);
When I create a cookie jar, does it mean that Mechanize will be using the cookie throughout the session?
Yes.
Do I even need to extract the cookie information and try to add it in the request header?
No, it's automatic, like the Mechanize documentation says.
do you use WireShark
Wireshark is fine with me.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
