[tpm] WWW::Mechanize and setting cookies

[Zoffix Znet]

Well {cookie_jar} is not defined when you call a method on it later on.

As for "debuging", I just said that if you see "use base qw/Foo Bar/;"
than make sure you check out Foo and Bar modules for the methods which
you are looking for, same goes for "our @ISA = qw/Foo Bar/;"
