Web UA w/Cookies

[Keary Suska]

Use LWP. I use it quite a bit, and it's easy to use. It will handle secure
connections (I believe it will transparently use Net::SSLeay, but I don't
recall specifically), automatically redirect, andf allow you to manipulate
cookies in any way you choose. Sweet for Perl based bots. Fairly fast too.
