Oh beloved, worshipped, sacred, holy Monks: I have written a script to grab a www page. I have to pass cookies in order to get the page. I can successfully get it, but it seems the cookies arent being used properly. I have asked around among all the perl people I know, but no one can answer this for me.
Can anyone find any problems in this code? The cookies file is correct and standardized... looks like this: 
#LWP-Cookies-1.0
Set-Cookie3: id=bob_loblaw; path="/"; domain=yoursite.here.com; path_s
+pec; expires="2005-12-31 23:59:33Z"; version=0
Set-Cookie3: username=blahblahblah; path="/"; domain=yoursite.here.com
+; path_spec; expires="2015-11-06 08:09:49Z"; version=0

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;

my $rssFile = "dump.rss";
my $wwwSite = "www.your.site.here.com";
my $cookieFile = "c:/cookies.txt";
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$browser->timeout(10);
$browser->env_proxy;
$browser->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => $cookieFile ));

my $response = $browser->get( $wwwSite );

if ($response->is_success) {
  open RSSDUMP, ">" . $rssFile;
  print RSSDUMP $response->content;
  close RSSDUMP;
}
else {
  die $response->status_line;
