Need Help??

in reply to Setting a cookie

As name is the only required attribute on Set-Cookie I see no problem with your code (except that you have a lowercase "cookie" instead of the correct uppercase "Cookie" in "Set-Cookie"). For more info:

For Perl CGIs I strongly recommend using CGI. Creating Cookies is easy then (along with other thingies):

use CGI;
$query = CGI->new;
$cookie = $query->cookie(-name=>'sessionID',
                         -value=>'xyzzy',
                         -expires=>'+1h',
                         -path=>'/cgi-bin/database',
                         -domain=>'.capricorn.org',
                         -secure=>1);
print $query->header(-cookie=>$cookie);
