I have the following issue with HTTP::Cookies::Netscape when using a cookie jar generated with Linux curl: Cookies in the curl cookie jar file with the HttpOnly attribute set are written as "#HttpOnly_{Hostname}" in the file and interpreted as comments by HTTP::Cookies::Netscape, so they get ignored. 
$ curl -I https://auth.example.com --cookie-jar ./cookie.txt --basic -

Set-Cookie: session=mdkfUHAUnjdfj[...] path=/; expires=Sat, 15 Apr 201
+7 04:08:35 -0000; secure; HttpOnly

$ cat ./cookie.txt
# Netscape HTTP Cookie File

As you can see the cookie is stored with a "#HttpOnly_" prefix in the cookie file above by curl. Feeding that file to HTTP::Cookies::Netscape for example like this will not produce any output as the line is treated as a comment: 
#!env perl

use HTTP::Cookies::Netscape;

my $cookies_file = defined($ARGV[0]) ? $ARGV[0] : exit ;
my $Netscape_cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Netscape->new( file => $cooki
+es_file );
print $Netscape_cookie_jar->as_string;

Removing the "#HttpOnly_" prefix in the cookie file will however work fine. Is there a way to make HTTP::Cookies::Netscape work with these curl-generated HttpOnly cookies without modifying the original cookie file? Thanks in advance.
