For the life of my I can't get a cookie from the following code/site using LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Cookies. It's frustrating because I get cookies at this url in Firefox and I get cookies with this code elsewhere.

Any ideas?

(sorry for breaking the URL up but didn't want to post it directly)

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

$letter1 = "d";                                                       
+                               
$letter2 = "r";
$letter3 = "f";

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "lwpcookies.txt", autosave 
+=> 1, ignore_discard => 1));                                         
+                                             
$req = HTTP::Request->new( GET => "http://www.$letter1$letter2$letter3
+.com" );
print $req->as_string, "\n";
$response = $ua->request($req);
print $response->as_string;
