This is close to what I have done for testing for users/browsers acceptance of cookies. Instead of using a test cookie though, directly set the necessary cookie and pass a query string in the redirect. I have run into situations where a user may accept one cookie but not the next!
Modifying dvergin's pseudo-code:
if $cookie = $cgi->cookie("CookieName")
check to see if it meets our standards
do business
else
if $cgi->param("TestingCookie") # no need to test value
#we tried to set a cookie and failed
bailout # or notify user of cookie failure and continue
set the cookie
set a http location: header line that includes:
the url by which we arrived here +
CookieName=value in the query string +
a query string TestingCookie=1
clean up and exit
end

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).
