Ok I have read every archived posting on LWP:UserAgent and HTTP::Cookies and no, I still don't get it. Yes I am probably increadibly lame. I keep missing something about setting cookies. What I am trying to do is post to a remote server which then logs the cookie I send it. I can't send the cookie as a form attribute, so I have to set the cookie to whatever the user's cookie is. The problem is that when I try to set $cookie_jar->add_cookie_header($ENV{HTTP_COOKIE}); It complains greatly about: Can't locate object method "url" via package "<$ENV{HTTP_COOKIE}>" at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/HTTP/Cookies.pm line 106. Here is the code: 
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $cookie_jar = new HTTP::Cookies;

$cookie_jar->add_cookie_header($ENV{HTTP_COOKIE}); #This line is troub
+lesome
my $req = POST 'http://foo.com/cgi-bin/log_cookie.cgi',
                [ data => 'somedata', errors => 'probably' ];

 print $ua->request($req)->as_string;
