I need some help with my script. i have the code below, which i think will do what i want it to. How can i make it into an actual working page? At the moment it just gives me "internal server error" I basicly have a program that sets a cookie using the pm_encode function. i am trying to make a page that will grab the cookie decode it using pm_decode and place the cookie back with a different name. Any help is greatly apreciated. David

my $lp = $req->cookie("pmpre");
   my ($clogin, $cID) = split(/\|/, pm_decode($lp));
   
   my $cookie_pmpre_login = $req->cookie(

                    -VALUE          => "$clogin",
