How can I automate and share sessions between Firefox and Perl?

Question

Is it possible to do part of a web flow in Perl and then transfer the rest of the session to Firefox?
I need to retry(with Perl) logging in to a website which returns 500 every now and then on a successful login, transfer the authenticated session to Firefox, from where I can continue my normal browsing. Is this possible?
If this is possible, how do I do it? Can you point me to some resources on how can transfer the cookie/session, etc ?

Answer 1

To me, it seems that it makes more sense to do everything from within Firefox ... and control that from the outside. MozRepl (the FF extension) and MozRepl (the Perl module) may help you in getting there.
