Matt Wright's cookie.lib

Arrrrggh... will the madness never end?

I didn't even know that he had more scripts outside of his "repository." Are these scripts the ones from his book? I thought no one used those... Blast!

The NMS project is currently replacing all of Matt Wright's scripts. Many of the replacements are nearing their final stages (with the exception of formmail (good god, the nightmares!), guestbook, and WWWBoard), and the project is looking towards expanding into other scripts outside of those replacing the MWS repository. I'm sure that NMS will eventually replace the scripts from his book, but until then, use CGI::Cookie for all of your cookie needs.

I would have to disagree - don't use CGI::Cookie, stick with CGI.pm and use the cookie methods from there. I've had no end of problems with CGI::Cookie that disappeared immediately that I stuck with CGI.

Just my two penneths worth :)

use CGI;

my $c = CGI->new();
# Make a list of all our cookies;
my @_COOKIES = qw(cookie1 cookie2 cookie3);
my %COOKIES = ();
foreach my $cookie (@_COOKIES) {
   my $value = $c->cookie($cookie);
   $COOKIES{$cookie} = $value if $value;
}
