Re: delete cookie (cgi101)

bigup401 why would you expect "delete" as in https://metacpan.org/pod/CGI#Deleting-a-parameter-completely to touch cookies?

Here is followup to cgi101

sub NoCookiesNoMore {
    my( $q, $url ) = @_;
    my @names = $q->cookie;
    my @coo =
      map { $q->cookie( -name => $_, -value => [], -expires => '-10y',
+ ) }
      @names;
    $url and return $q->redirect( -location => $url, -cookie => [@coo]
+ );
    return $q->redirect( -cookie => [@coo] );
} ## end sub NoCookiesNoMore
__END__

i got some idea and it worked for me. by overwriting the old cookie and then the browser will delete it because it has expired `$page = '#page'; $cookie = $cgi->cookie(-name => 'user', -value => '', -expires=> '-1d' +); print $cgi->redirect(-location => $page, -cookie => $cookie);` [download] it works well now. can delete the old cookie by overwriting it	[reply] [d/l]
