Discouraging the use of HTTP::Cookies

Hi,

In November 2015 I gave a talk at London.pm about managing HTTP cookies
in Perl.  As a consequence, I sent a documentation patch to the
HTTP::Cookies module to discourage its use:
https://github.com/gisle/http-cookies/pull/7

My patch includes a test script demonstrating the module's limitations:
https://github.com/gisle/http-cookies/pull/7/commits/ae00b4ed6aedc1cce72c0e8ddf5e7e8fbba417a8

Last week at London.pm's Perl Hack Day I published a Perl::Critic
policy to detect code that uses HTTP::Cookies:
https://metacpan.org/release/Perl-Critic-Policy-HTTPCookies

I want to share this because it looks like my HTTP::Cookies patch won't
get reviewed or released any time soon.  I'd like to encourage readers
to consider using HTTP::CookieJar or HTTP::CookieJar::LWP instead.
