This plugin populates ikiwiki's cookiejar by calling an external program. The program is expected to print the serialized cookies on stdout in a form which can be eval'd (e.g., Data::Dumper).

The plugin author's use case for this seemingly hacky interface: aggregating authenticated feeds at work, where for various reasons the needed cookies must be acquired using a separate perl from the one used by ikiwiki.
