Re: How I get cookie value

I'd think you can still use CGI.pm -- with the cookie() method to retreive the cookie:

my $q = new CGI;
my $val = $q->cookie('param');

If you're not using CGI.pm (or can't for some reason), you can get the HTTP_COOKIE from the program's environment (unless ssi is clearing the environment out):

my $http_cookie = $ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'};
$http_cookie =~ /^([^=]+)=(.*)$/;
my($name,$val) = ($1,$2);
[download]

hope this helps...

how does that piece of code know what cookie you are after. I tried it and it got a value of null.	[reply]

Thanks. But as matter of fact I use CGI model did what you did. It didn't work. Also I try to use %ENV, also it didn't give me back anything as long as I use it in a SSI. Maybe just like you said netscape server SSI did something. But I am stuck here. Is there other way using perl to this job beside using server configuration. Thanks	[reply]
