PierreL has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using Linux, but I can't find where the cookies of iceweasel are registered. There is some perl modules HTTP::Cookies::Mozilla or HTTP::Cookies::Netscape to change cookies from mozilla or Netscape forme to LWP format, but I can't make them work with iceweasel. In fact, I want to enter with a lwp perl programm in a site where identification is made by typing the code on a numerical keyboard with the mouse. Thank you for your help.

    Well, in Firefox, your cookies are stored in: 
    
    /home/$yourusername/.mozilla/firefox/$profilename/cookies.txt

    [download]
    and seeing IceWeasel is a rebranding of firefox, I would look for something similar.

    Be aware, however, that session cookies are not written to the file, only long term cookies.
