Strangely enough, everything you talk about here is by design.
And it's also why we recommend the new APR::Request:: modules
over Apache2::Cookie and friends, because it's IMO a simpler API.

I've found a bug either in the docs or Apache2::Cookie...
Basically if I read cookies like this:
$cookie_hash_ref = APR::Request::Apache2->handle($r)->jar();
it works, I can treat the return as a hash of cookies.
However, if I (following the Apache2::Cookie man page) go:
$jar=Apache2::Cookie->new($r);
foreach $name ($jar->cookies()){ blah blah }
then the names are actually the full baked header value (eg. "name=value")
I have to crack on with my project but I'll leave that one with you.
Phil, thanks for the pointers and the cookie recipes in the FAQ!

Likely this change in the API caught you (2.05-dev and up)
Perl API [joes]
Move bake, bake2 to Apache2::Cookie, now requiring
an extra $r argument. Also ""-operator is mapped
to as_string() for Apache2::Cookie; but APR::Request::Cookie
maps it to value().
AND/OR
(2.06-dev and up)
Perl API [joes]
Drop support for Apache2::Cookie::Jar::new's VALUE_CLASS. 2.05-dev broke
that API, and it's not worth trying to fix. People who need that should
use APR::Request::Cookie::Table's cookie_class() API instead.

Right, I've solved my problem with a hack and some RTFSing, but I think
I've found a bug either in the docs or Apache2::Cookie...
Basically if I read cookies like this:
$cookie_hash_ref = APR::Request::Apache2->handle($r)->jar();
it works, I can treat the return as a hash of cookies.
However, if I (following the Apache2::Cookie man page) go:
$jar=Apache2::Cookie->new($r);
foreach $name ($jar->cookies()){ blah blah }
then the names are actually the full baked header value (eg. "name=value")

Re: Apache2::Cookie odd return values
Lets move this to apreq-dev (at) httpd.apache.org ** Remember to remove modperl@ from the reply list. (mp 2.0.1, libapreq2-2.06-dev, httpd 2.0.51, Fedora Core 2) Not an issue, but httpd 2.0.54 is out since you're using the rest current :) If you haven't time to read below but have some working cookie read/write freeze/thaw code or URLs I'd be grateful! I don't know about freeze/thaw, but I wrote this FAQ :) http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/coding/cooking.html#Sending_Cookies_Using_libapreq2 (I also tried using APR::Request::Cookie but it seems to be for Apache experts only, quite a confusing interface) HA, I know you're not calling me an apache expert :) Any help gratefully accepted, HTH
