Hello,

I am trying to create a new cookie and then delete it later after certain actions. Below is my code that i create cookie 

use strict;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
my $cookie = $q->cookie(-name=>'pass',
 -value=>'xxxx',
 -expires=>'+1h',
 -path=>'/');
 print $q->header(-cookie=>$cookie);

[download]

The above is the pretty much standard code, but the cookie doesn't gets send to the browser. I am not sure why the cookie isn't created. I am going nuts something probably i am missing something silly. I have set the cookies before in different places but not sure why it doesn't work .

Appreciate any help. Thanks, Teju
