I'm writing a basic Bootstrap HTML page, and decided to install a jQuery cookies script to comply with the stupid EU regulations.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); 
use CGI ':standard';
use HTML::Template;
 
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";

my $path = '/path/';
my $formspace = $path . 'formspace.tt';

my $file_contents;

open FH, '<', $formspace or die "Can't open $formspace: $!";
$file_contents = do { local $/; <FH> };
close FH;

my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => $path . 'index.tt');
$template->param(FORMSPACE => $file_contents);
print $template->output;

The script picks up the data and templates and prints as I want - no problems.

The problem is that when I include the jQuery cookie script, it doesn't work. That might seem to be a problem with the way I've applied the script. However if I generate the HTML with my script, demo.pl, copy the html generated and paste it into a page demo.html, then the cookie script functions as normal.

Has anybody come across this behaviour before?
