I am setting a cookie using CGI.pm in the first script, retrieving the value and using that in subsequent scripts.
$cookie = $query->cookie(
-name => 'newcookie',
-value => $newcookie,
-domain => '.xyz.com',
-expires => '',
-path => '/'
);
If I set -expires => 'somevalue', I see the cookie in text format in the folder that has all the cookies.. (for example, C:\Windows\Cookies )but if I don't set a value for -expires => '', I don't see the cookie saved to the hard drive.
Is there any other way a user can find out the cookie, if -expires is not set (as it doesn't save the cookie as a text file)? Does the cookie expire when the browser is closed? Is this a safe way to pass encrypted password to subsequent pages?

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).
