You have to make the request and then call extract_cookies, hold on...

From the HTTP::Cookies docs

$cookie_jar->extract_cookies($response); The extract_cookies() method will look for Set-Cookie: and Set-Cookie2: headers in the *HTTP::Response* object passed as argument. Any of these headers that are found are used to update t +he state of the $cookie_jar.
Hope this helps,
