in reply to Setting and Reading Cookies

Greetings bigjoe11a,

I recommend you read through the CGI.pm manual's section on cookies. To write a cookie, just print the header of a page with a cookie object.

use strict; use CGI; my $cgi = new CGI; my $cookie = $cgi->cookie( -name => 'cookieName', -value => 'cookieValue', -expires => '+1h' ); print $cgi->header( -cookie => $cookie );

To read the cookie, just use this:

my $value = $cgi->cookie('cookieName');
