Update: sorry for the dup
It sounds like a timing thing to me.
At the time the script is compiled, there is no cookie
data available. After it runs the first time, the client
browser now holds valid cookie data which is passed to the
script on the second try. You might try forking a new process after setting
the cookie and placing your print statement within the
child. Silly me. That won't work since the
fork just copies what you had at pre-compile.
So you're left with something like:
#! Perl -w
use CGI;
use strict;
my $query = new CGI;
my $spcName = $query->cookie(-name=>'spcName', -value=>$query->url_pa
+ram('test'));
print $query->header(-cookie=>[$spcName]);
print "cookie value: ", $query->cookie(-name=>'spcName'), "<BR>";
my $savedVal = $query->cookie(-name=>'spcName') | $query->url_param('
+test');
print $savedVal;

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).
