How to maintain cookies during redirects using perl's LWP::UserAgent?

Question

The HTTP Request I used to send to a specific website is now getting redirected which eventually broke my code. I realized that the cookies are not working anymore for the redirected domain (of course). I read the docs of LWP but I did not find any related option to preserve/maintain cookies automatically. Is there an easy way to do it?

Just for a side note: this behavior works out of the box using Python's Requests class.

Answer 1

The following adds support for cookies to LWP::UserAgent.

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( cookie_jar => {} );

It causes cookies returned in a response to be sent with subsequent matching requests, just like a browser does.
