I'm trying to automate the website but the website is reading the cookies and after 5secs its redirect to the main page. (Just I assume, because I disable the cookies then refresh it, the website was not redirecting). I don't know how to set the cookies by using WWW::Mechanize.

Export cookies into a text file and then you can check [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31370173/perl-facebook-login-with-mechanize-failed-cookies-error/31371855#31371855) – Arunesh Singh Sep 30 '16 at 10:50

1Could you share the code and explain a bit more? – Chankey Pathak Sep 30 '16 at 11:44

Here are answers to the questions you've asked, but I don't think they'll help you a lot. You really need to explain what you're trying to do, show your Perl code, and describe the behaviour that needs to be fixed
Cookies are data that a browser client stores on behalf of a server. They are indexed by URL
Every time a client sends an HTTP message, it checks to see whether it has cookie data for the URL. If so then the data is included in the header of the message sent
How to find if the website is reading cookies
The cookie information that a client sends is always read, but there is no way at all to tell whether the server has taken action according to that information, or just discarded it
the website is reading the cookies and after 5secs its redirect to the main page
I'm unclear how you think cookies might be relevant
Just to be clear:
A website is an accumulation of data files and executables on a server system, and so cannot "read" a cookie
It is the client—your browser—that redirects to the main page. That is most likely to be because the last message from the server included an instruction to load the main page after five seconds
