Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Is there anyway that I can load pages with LWP but have a cookie set in my "browser" so the pages would display a certain way. For instance if I wanted to write a script that would login to my Hotmail account every so often and tell me if I got new mail.
Yup,
Read perldoc LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Cookies.
$ua->cookie_jar($cookies); will do the trick.
Be nice to read an existing browser cookies file wouldn't
it :)
