I'm not able to reproduce this with your sample program using libwww-perl-5.76. > HTTP::Cookies::Netscape apparently cannot handle File:// urls.

There was a fix for this problem that went in at v5.72. Quoting http://search.cpan.org/src/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.76/Changes: Requests for some non-HTTP URLs would fail if the cookie_jar was enabled. The HTTP::Cookies::add_cookie_header now ignore non-HTTP requests. Regards, Gisle
