Manually, in my chrome browser, when I visit grocery.walmart.com, it remembers my login and logs me in automatically. When I access the site within WWW::Mechanize::Chrome, it does not. I am pretty sure Walmart uses cookies to do this. I simply need to know how to make auto-login via cookies work with WWW::Mechanize::Chrome. This is my code which does not auto-login:

use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy); use WWW::Mechanize::Chrome; Log::Log4perl->easy_init($ERROR); my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Chrome->new( headless => 0, ); $mech->get('https://grocery.walmart.com'); my $png = $mech->content_as_png();

I should mention, it is critical to auto-login because Walmart uses login captchas to defeat bots.

Thanks for any help!

P.S. Any idea why WWW::Mechanize::Chrome doesn't load cookies by default?
