  Description     : HTTP cookie jars

This class is for objects that represent a "cookie jar" -- that is, a
database of all the HTTP cookies that a given LWP::UserAgent object knows
about.

Cookies are a general mechanism which server side connections can use to 
both
store and retrieve information on the client side of the connection. For 
more
information about cookies refer to
<URL:http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/cookie_spec.html> and
<URL:http://www.cookiecentral.com/>. HTTP::Cookies also implements the new
style cookies described in RFC 2965. The two variants of cookies are 
supposed
to be able to coexist happily.

Instances of the class HTTP::Cookies are able to store a collection of
Set-Cookie2: and Set-Cookie: headers and are able to use this information to
initialize Cookie-headers in HTTP::Request objects. The state of a
HTTP::Cookies object can be saved in and restored from files.
