The following test program crashes on the second request with option -b with
the error message given in comments at the end of the program.
HTTP::Cookies::Netscape apparently cannot handle File:// urls. I worked
around this error by adding code in my app to recognize this situation and
to temporarily unset the cookie jar. This is with perl-5.8.1,
libwww-perl-5.76.
Thanks,
Doug
