I have been getting this problem on IE. I don't think Netscape is
particularly to blame. I think that Cookie.pm should probably be modified
handle the case. Is it OK to report issues like this with perlbug? Is
there some other forum?

Well, that is certainly a malformed cookie! It should be "name=value",
so this cookie will obviously fail normal cookie parsing. The question
is: is Netscape or the original server the culprit? Who first mangled
the cookie? :-)
