Just note that the perl binding is a product of its own merits and isn't
strictly curl not libcurl, but a layer between perl and libcurl.

We call it saving to a "cookiejar". This is -c with curl and CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR
with libcurl. You read cookies from a file with -b and CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE.

I generally recommend reading these for greater (lib)curl insights:
