I'm curious if anyone's familiar with how LWP gets cookies into the
final request that's sent.
AIUI, you create a request using an HTTP::Headers object. Then the
request object is sent to the user-agent object. Now, the user-agent
object has a cookie jar associated with it (not the request object), so
presumably it adds those cookies in prior to the actual request(?)
How can I prove to myself it's really sending the cookies?

$ua->cookie_jar($jar);
foreach my $get (@$chat) {
my $req = $get->{request};
my $headers = HTTP::Headers->new();
my $content = $req->{content} || "";
my $request = HTTP::Request->new($req->{method}, $req->{url}, $headers,
$content);
warn "Cookie: ", $headers->header("cookie"), "\n" if
$headers->header("cookie");
#... no cookie seen here of course.
my $response = $ua->request($request, "$output_dir/$file");
