For those in the future who stumble upon this thread, it was a hacked to 
death version of this solution that worked for me.  I had to hack the 
cookie jar so that it worked on only the root domain, as it was a domain 
wide cookie that I needed to use.

WWW:Mechanize looks awesome, but at this time isn't really useable for 
me.  I have enough trouble on my plate without having to maintain my 
installation of ruby-current; 1.8.2 is not new enough.

Since this solution did work, I'm sure I could study the problem and 
come up with something better based on the RFC, but I think I'll stick 
with what I've got.

Cheers,

Jim
