It should be returning both the page and the cookie. If it's not yet returning the page, it's probably wanting you to remember the cookie, and "click another link". The `LWP` package can hold "cookie jars" to automatically send back previously noted cookies. See `perldoc lwpcook` after installing LWP.	[reply]
