NAME
    HTTP::Cookies::Netscape - Access to Netscape cookies files

VERSION
    version 6.10

SYNOPSIS
     use LWP;
     use HTTP::Cookies::Netscape;
     $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Netscape->new(
       file => "c:/program files/netscape/users/ZombieCharity/cookies.txt",
     );
     my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
     $browser->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar );

DESCRIPTION
    This is a subclass of "HTTP::Cookies" that reads (and optionally writes) Netscape/Mozilla cookie
    files.

    See the documentation for HTTP::Cookies.

CAVEATS
    Please note that the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format can't store all the information
    available in the Set-Cookie2 headers, so you will probably lose some information if you save in
    this format.

    At time of writing, this module seems to work fine with Mozilla Phoenix/Firebird.
