Here is some code that i'm trying to use to set a cookie using CGI.pm: 
  push (@styleck, $style);
  $netdriver_stylesheet = $stl -> cookie (
    -name => 'netdriver_stylesheet',
    -value => $style,
  );
  print $stl -> header (-cookie => $netdriver_stylesheet);

[download]
Then, later on, i'll read it with something like this: 
@preference = $page -> cookie('netdriver_stylesheet');
if (@preference[0] ne "") { $style = "@preference[0]"; } else { $style
+ = "driver"; }

[download]
Problem: while this code works great on my local system (set up with Indigoperl & win '98), but when i publish it to the web (a Linux OS-- not sure if this might be the root of the problem), the script apparently fails to set the cookie.

Is there some help out there...? Anybody, anybody...?

Thanks and God bless....

Edit by dws to remove extraneous <br/> tags from within <code> blocks.
