in reply to Re: Re: Cookies
in thread Cookies, how can you set one if it must be done before the header?

IE requires the path be set in your cookie..

my $cookiename = cookie(
                        -name    => 'cookie',
                        -value   => 'loggedin',
                        -expires => '+1h'
                        -path    => '/',
                       );

    I added the path but it still doesn't change the fact that I can log in, but if I go back to the url 2 seconds afterwards it forces me to log in again.

      You haven't actually set the cookie just by doing that. You've created a cookie but then not sent it to the browser. You need to print the header and explicitly tell it to include the cookie.
