Dear Monks,

I am trying to delete (replace) a cookie sent from a perl-based program on my domain. The problem is I cannot seem to set new cookie exactly like the program set cookie. Since my cookie and the program cookie don't match I cannot overwrite it.

PROGRAM SET COOKIE
Name: TheCookie
Content: anything
Host: foobar.com
Path: /
Send For: Any type of connection
Expires: At end of session

When I try to set the new cookie I get this

MY COOKIE
Name: TheCookie
Content: anything
Host: www.foobar.com
Path: /
Send For: Any type of connection
Expires: At end of session

-- Note the 'Host: www.foobar.com' line


To remove the 'www' I add -domain=>'foobar.com', but then I get 'Domain: .foobar.com' -- 'Domain' not 'Host' and the dot before '.foobar.com'

How do I remove the dot before 'foobar.com' and list the URL as 'Host' not 'Domain'?
