Your code works for me, once I fix it to actually become a program:

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

# try to simulate wget:
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(
                file => "mycookie.cookie",
                autosave => 1,
            );
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->timeout(2);
$ua->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);
$ua->env_proxy;

if( !@ARGV) {
warn "Requesting page";
my $request= HTTP::Request->new (GET=> "http://www.google.com/webhp?hl
+=en");
my $status=$ua->request ($request);
if ($status->is_success)
{
    print $status->decoded_content();
}
else
{
    print STDERR $status->status_line, "\n";
    return 1;
}

};

use Data::Dumper;
warn "Cookies in jar:";
$cookie_jar->scan(sub { warn Dumper \@_ });

It (re)generates the cookie file if run without any command line argument, and if run with a command line argument, it just dumps the cookies from the file.

Whatever your problem seems to be, I would suspect that it lies elsewhere.
