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

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.
