in reply to Embedding cookies in HTTP requests

Take a look at LWP::UserAgent:
$ua->cookie_jar([$cookie_jar_obj]) Get/set the cookie jar object to use. The only requirement is that the cookie jar object must implement the extract_cookies($request) and add_cookie_header($response) methods. These methods will then be invoked by the user agent as requests are sent and responses are received. Normally this will be a "HTTP::Cookies" object or some subclass. The default is to have no cookie_jar, i.e. never automatically add "Cookie" headers to the requests.
