Hello Monks,

I am having a problem getting these set/get cookie scripts to work with Firefox or any Mozilla browsers. I'm befuddled and would appreciate any suggestions.

setacookie.cgi 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

$query2 = new CGI;
$cookie = $query2->cookie(-name=>'TEST-COOKIE',
             -value=>'test cookie ',
                         -expires=>'24h',
                         -path=>'');


print $query2->header(-cookie=>$cookie);
print"<html>
<body>
<a href='http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/getacookie.cgi'>This is a l
+ink</a>
</body>
</html>";

print $query2->end_html;

getacookie.cgi 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

$cgi_query = new CGI;
print $cgi_query->header;

print $cgi_query->start_html('getacookie program');

print $cgi_query->h4('Your cookie name is...');

$testCookie = $cgi_query->cookie('TEST-COOKIE');

print "<PRE>\n";
print $testCookie;
print $cgi_query->end_html;
