Missing Module HTTP::Cookies::Netscape

[programingnoob]

Hi,

I am having problems again. Okay, I got the module LWP from CPAN, and the module HTTP::Cookies::Netscape is suppose to come with it,or at least that's what I thought. I wrote a program, requesting for the module HTTP::Cookies::Netscape, and it said it was missing. I went to CPan to look for it, but I can't find a seperate download. I reinstalled LWP, but it's still mising. What should I do?

Thanks.

Thanks, but there isn't a place where I can download that mnodule... Also, is HTTP::Cookies::Netscape included in the LWP?

Here's a funny thing. Perl can include sub packages within a package class. Believe it or not you do have HTTP::Cookies::Netscape as it's part of the HTTP/Cookies.pm file. Have a look at line 731

If you have problems accessing it, it might be because you need to 'use HTTP::Cookies' first.

Thanks, do you tink you can answer some of my other problems on the other threads? My script just doesn't know how to log in to a webpage

As for the HTTP::Cookies::Netscape being part of HTTP::Cookies, not any longer. Now you simply should be able to say "require HTTP::Cookies::Netscape". But you need to install ::Netscape first.

As for the cookie support in your scripts, you don't have to use ::Netscape at all. You are well off with HTTP::Cookies. ::Netscape is useful only when you want to write a script to use your Netscape's cookie files
