Hi Guys, Im having quite a big problem (in my eyes), I will try to explain it the best i can. I use CGI:SSI (autotie => 'STDOUT'); as the site im working with has a quite big HTML database with some SSI's in the HTML Code. The Reason i use CGI:SSI is becuase the browser will not process the scripts output for SSI with outit. The SSI im calling is another CGI script however this script is not able to read the cookies? This is where i am stuck. I use a standard sub to read all my cookies.. so i know its working. here it is just encase.. 
sub getcookie{
    use Crypt::RC4;
    my $passphrase = "*****************";
    my $cookiename = uc(shift);
    if($cookiename eq ""){
              return 0
    }
    my $usercookie = $query->cookie($cookiename);
    my %hashreturn;
    if($usercookie eq ''){
        return 0
    }
    
    $usercookie = RC4( $passphrase, $usercookie );
    if ($usercookie){
        my @tempcookie = split(':',$usercookie);
        foreach my $cookieinfo (@tempcookie){
            $cookieinfo =~ /^(.*?)=(.*)/;
            my $value1 = $1;
            my $value2 = $2;
            $hashreturn{$value1} = $value2;
        }
    }
     
     return (1,%hashreturn);
}

I have also tried printing the ENV but there is no cookie in there. I guess the simple question is can SSI calls to other CGI scripts access cookies. just incase you need to know the SSI call im doing is:
<!--#include virtual="http://www.*************.co.uk/cgi-bin/MDCompone
+ntdisplay.pl?do=clientadvert&t=457&e=457&jobid=61" -->
