I only see one carriage return after the HTTP header. Are you sure you've pasted/typed that in correctly? In your case, you should have the Content-Type header, then a carriage return (which you have), then the Set-Cookie header, then *two* carriage returns... I only see one in your code.

Again, though, I can't emphasize enough: use CGI::Cookie! Does Tripod not make that available? Is that why you're not using it?

Also, I've never heard of the "date" attribute in a Set-Cookie header... it's not in the specification. That's probably not the problem, since the cookie is getting placed in your cookies file correctly. But still.

So this cookie did show up in your cookies file? What's the domain listed as in the cookies file? Is it ".tripod.com"?

• 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.
