NAME
Cookie::Baker - Cookie string generator / parser
SYNOPSIS
use Cookie::Baker;
$headers->push_header('Set-Cookie', bake_cookie($key,$val));
my $cookies_hashref = crush_cookie($headers->header('Cookie'));DESCRIPTION
Cookie::Baker provides simple cookie string generator and parser.
XS IMPLEMENTATION
This module tries to use Cookie::Baker::XS's crush_cookie by default. If this fails, it will use Cookie::Baker's pure Perl crush_cookie.
There is no XS implementation of bake_cookie yet.
