Good post. The expires header requires a valid date if you output it yourself ie:

Expires: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 14:19:41 GMT

With CGI.pm however, a variety of options (including -'1d')are allowed when you pass values to it, presumably these are converted into a time in GMT - I have never bothered to check. If you send invalid date values in an HTTP expires header (ie 'now' or '0') it is interpreted as being in the past so has the desired effect anyway.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
