in reply to Missing cookies with LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Cookies

You should add your cookie jar before the request. 
...
my $cjar = HTTP::Cookies->new();

my $ua   = LWP::UserAgent->new(keep_alive => '1',
                          timeout => $timeout);
$ua->cookie_jar($cjar);
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);
my $response = $ua->request($req);

      Then the server did not send a cookie! Here is a complete TESTED working example, that prints a cookie. 
      use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Cookies;

my $cjar = HTTP::Cookies->new();
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( keep_alive => '1', );
$ua->cookie_jar($cjar);
my $req = HTTP::Request->new( GET => 'http://derstandard.at/' );
my $response = $ua->request($req);
print $cjar->as_string;

        This is interesting. I tested with several URLs and yes, it appears that the server did not send a cookie. However, if I visit the same URL with Firefox I receive a cookie. Does this mean that there is a server side mechanism that may not send cookies to all agents?
