in thread CGI::Session cookie won't delete

Here's the updated code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use CGI::Session '-ip_match';
use CGI;

my $session = CGI::Session->load();

$session->delete();
$session->flush();

my $url = "https://xxxx.xxx";
print "Location: $url \n\n";

And it's still not working

    And you still haven't used strict. Why is that?

    Just because you fix one bug it does not mean that your code is now bug-free nor does it mean that your algorithm has been correctly coded. You said:

    The problem is, I can't remove the cookie using $session->delete() and $session->flush() when I try to log out.

    How do you expect either of those methods to delete a cookie from the jar when you are printing the response headers by hand? That's not going to happen. Either look in the code and/or the documentation and determine how you can delete a cookie using the module methods or else do it yourself in the headers if that's the way you prefer.

    Or alternatively, just don't worry that a browser still has a cookie for a now-deleted session because it's not like they can do anything with it.

    Either way, at least you are now deleting the session which you were not before.
