[tpm] WWW::Mechanize and setting cookies

[Zoffix Znet]

You are not setting the cookie "domain". This works just fine:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new;

$mech->get('http://zoffix.com/new/cookies.pl');
print "BEFORE:\n", $mech->content, "\n";

$mech->cookie_jar->set_cookie( 0, 'foo', 'bar', '/', 'zoffix.com' );

$mech->get('http://zoffix.com/new/cookies.pl');
print "AFTER:\n", $mech->content, "\n";


Prints:
BEFORE:
Cookies:

AFTER:
Cookies:
foo => bar


If you are interested in the source code of that cookies.pl script see:

Cheers
