What are you actually trying to do? As Sean suggests, it's unlikely you actually need to use these methods. set_cookie, IIRC, just allows you to manually set a cookie, and takes a list of cookie data for a single cookie (name, value, ...). You probably just want to call extract_cookies, though (and a UserAgent object will do that for you, so you don't even need to do that). Use scan if you want to iterate over all the cookies in a cookie jar, for whatever reason -- it just calls a function you provide for every cookie, with a list of cookie data as argument. All this is in the POD, I don't know why I'm restating it (possibly with inaccuracies)... John
