Hi Huck, Thank you for your input. The line !/usr/bin/perl always there in my code except that i accidentally didn't put on the forum. I have just managed to work with one additional change and its started to work. As i have multiple print statement in the code as in I am setting the cookie and then redirect the user to the url. It either redirects or writes the cookie. though, i have found work around to it , I am not sure whether that is the right way to do it. My code after the cookies started working.

use strict;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
my $returnurl;
my $pass=$q->cookie('pass');
my $JsessCookie = $q->cookie(-name=>$pass, -value=>'', -path=>'/', -ex
+pires=>'-1h');
my $tempcookie = $q->cookie(-name=>'tempc', -value=>'', -path=>'/');
my $url="https://test.com/return=$returnurl";
#tried the below but doesn't redirect <b>shows 302 status</b>

#print $q->redirect(-cookie=>[$JsessCookie,$tempcookie],-uri=>$url);
#<b>this is the working redirection code- but not sure whether its the
+ right way forward</b>

print $q->header(-cookie=>[$JsessCookie,$tempcookie]);
print qq~<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=$url">\n;

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
