Currently I have my $mech contructor autosave my cookie jar after I'm done. See below: 
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(
    autosave => 1,
    file => "C:\Temp\.cookie.dat");

$mech->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);
$mech->agent_alias( 'Windows IE 6' );
$mech->quiet(1);

If I need to change the value of a cookie I'm currently forced to call my $mech destructor, alter the .cookie.dat file, and then start all over by calling my $mech contructor again so it reads the new value from my cookie file.

My question is it possible to do this in memory after the initial run?
