Hello all,
The code below is an attempt to simplify and debug a more complicated cookie checker. However no cookie is being set. My browser is set to accept cookies and I have many in my Temp Int. file. I am refreshing the file list to check for the cookie to no avail. I do not have CGI::Cookie on the server and would rather not do a local install especially as CGI.pm should be able to handle this no problem. Please advise me as to what my error is.
TIA,
jg 
 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use CGI;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser /;

my $q = CGI->new();

my $name = "AnolaFlashcookie";

cookie_check();

sub cookie_check {
 my $cookie = $q->cookie(-name=>"$name",
                         -value=>"$name",
                         -expires=>'+12h',
                         -path=>'/home/thesite/www/cgi-bin/',
                         -domain=>'thesite.com',
                         -secure=>1);

 print $q->header(-cookie=>$cookie);

 my $cookie_set = $q->cookie(-name=>"$name");

  if (defined $cookie_set) {
     print  $q->header( "text/html" ),
     h1("Cookie was set!");
  } else {
     print  $q->header( "text/html" ),
     h1("Cookie was NOT set!");
  }
