I am trying to solve something simple. I have worked on it and tried to find the answer in many places. Such as CGI redirect, Redirect Problem, and of course, CPAN CGI::Cookie and CGI

Here is the code that I am using. I am trying to set a cookie then move along to another page...

$c = new CGI::Cookie(-name => 'login', -value => $login2, -expires => '+3M', -domain => '$domain', ); print header(-cookie=>[$c]); print "URI:http://$URL/"; #and tried print "Location:http://$URL/";

This is the snippet from my .pl that does not work. Any suggestions would help. I can set the cookie by itself and that works. I want the page to refresh after doing so though and I haven't figured out how to do that. I feel like I have tried them all, and know I haven't. LeGo
