Creating the cookie does not update the object.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use CGI;

my $q = CGI->new();

my $cookie = $q->cookie(-name=>'info',-value=>'bar');
print $q->header(-cookie=>$cookie);
print $q->cookie('info'),"\n";
print Dumper($q);
__OUTPUT__
Set-Cookie: info=bar; path=/
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2003 01:48:32 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1


$VAR1 = bless( {
                 '.header_printed' => '1',
                 '.charset' => 'ISO-8859-1',
                 '.parameters' => [],
                 '.fieldnames' => {},
                 '.cookies' => undef
               }, 'CGI' );

Either use an assigned variable to get it's value or subclass CGI (just need to overide cookie() to mitigate the problem.)

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.
