     1.4 +This class is for objects that represent a "cookie jar" -- that is,
     1.5 +a database of all the HTTP cookies that a given LWP::UserAgent
     1.6 +object knows about.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +Cookies are a general mechanism which server side connections can
     1.9 +use to both store and retrieve information on the client side of
    1.10 +the connection.
    1.11 +For more information about cookies refer to Cookie Spec and Cookie
    1.12 +Central.
    1.13 +This module also implements the new style cookies described in
    1.14 +RFC 2965. The two variants of cookies are supposed to be able to
    1.15 +coexist happily.
    1.16 +
    1.17 +Instances of the class HTTP::Cookies are able to store a collection
    1.18 +of Set-Cookie2: and Set-Cookie: headers and are able to use this
    1.19 +information to initialize Cookie-headers in HTTP::Request objects.
    1.20 +The state of a HTTP::Cookies object can be saved in and restored
    1.21 +from files.
