I have two simple scripts one to set and one to get the cookie. The script uns fine under IE but under Netscape it does not set the cookie. But other cookies are being set on the netscape browser that I am running by others. Is there a difference between IE and Netscape on this ??? 
##################################
#set cookie
##################################

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI ;
my $q = new CGI;

my $co_userid = $q->cookie(-name=>'user',
       -value=>'dummy',
       -domain=>  '.jplan.com',
       -path=>  '/cgi-bin/') ;
my $co_password = $q->cookie(-name=>'password',
       -value=>'hispassword',
       -domain=>  '.jplan.com',
       -path=>  '/cgi-bin/');


print $q->header(-cookie=>[$co_userid,$co_password]);
        print "<html>\n";
        print "<HEAD>","\n";

        print "<TITLE>CTB Discussion Index</TITLE>\n";
        print "<link rel=stylesheet type=\"text/css\" href=\"../../ctb
+/css/header.css\">\n";
        print "</head>\n";
        print "<body bgcolor=#FFFFFF topmargin=2 marginheight=2 leftma
+rgin=2 marginwidth=2  >\n";

        print "Cookie is set<br>";


        print "</body></html>";
