I'm trying to use WWW::Mechanize to navigate through a site and ultimately download a report each day. After I get within one screen of where I need to go, the HTML contains JavaScript that sets 4 cookies and uses an onclick button handler to jump to the screen I need. The problem I'm running into is that the 4 cookies repeat the same name twice, like: 
  <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
  // Set cookies
  document.cookie = "Report_Profile_ID=654321;path=/cgi-bin\";
  document.cookie = "Report_Profile_ID=654321;path=/actuate";
  document.cookie = "FirstTime=1;path=/cgi-bin";
  document.cookie = "FirstTime=1;path=/actuate";
  // end cookie set
  </script>

I tried to fake the JavaScript cookie setting by grabbing the cookie values from the JavaScript source and simply setting these cookies in the $agent->cookie_jar. Unfortunately, HTTP::Cookies->set_cookie() appears to simply overwrite a previous cookie having the same name, rather than saving an array of values for a cookie of a given name. So now I'm kinda stuck. Can the perluminati suggest a way my script can provide more than one cookie having the same name?
