Hi all, I'm trying to write some CGI code. Need to look and see if a cookie is set; if not, set it and redirect back to the URL. Here's the piece of test code I have. When I run it, it hangs forever, so I'm assuming it's stuck in a loop.

Can anyone tell me where I went wrong?

use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

# New CGI object
my $q = new CGI;

my $test = $q->cookie("test");

if (defined $test) {
    print $q->header;
    print $q->start_html('Test stuff');
    print "<BR><BR>\n";
    print "I got cookie value: $test<BR>\n";
    print $q->end_html;
    
} else {

    my $cookie = $q->cookie(-name => 'test',
                -value => 'test value');
                
    print $q->redirect (-cookie => $cookie, -uri => $q->self_url());
            
}
