Hi:

The problem is in the tiny isolated subroutine below. This code is from cookie.pm 

sub GetUserSessionCookie
{
    warn("Entered GetUserSessionCookie Sessionname: '$sessionname'"); 
+   

    # fetch existing cookies from cookie.pm CGI::Cookie - Interface to
+ HTTP Cookies
    my %cookies = CGI::Cookie->fetch;
    my $id = $cookies{'ID'}->value;

    my $sid = $id;
    warn($sid);      
     $sid = 0;  #for testing the rest of program. If I put in valid SI
+D from 
    #cookie recognizes user as logged on. 
    
    return $sid;
}

The error returned: 

Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at /home/jalamior/www/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/lib/perl/manageusers.pm line 674.

Is that error because there is no cookie->id string recovered by the call or a problem with the call itself?

When I log in to https://www.jala-mi.org/httpsdocs/index.html

Firebug cookies shows

CGISESSID=16c11ce44ef8ffcfe6a5f0d74e4e0860; expires=Sun, 19 Mar 2017 00:47:22 GMT; path=/cgi-bin; domain=.www.jala-mi.org; Secure

Opening the edit dialog under Firebug shows cookies.edit.expire.label as the date/time the cookie was created and when I click Ok, the cookie disappears.

Log in again and new cookie with new date/time of creation in Firebug.

Don't know what this is.
