Hi Everyone! Now im very new to perl so here goes. I have a perl generated webpage which you can save a path(typed in by the user) as a cookie. When I press apply cookie, it regenerates the same page with the new cookie saved. However when this is clicked, "Content-Type:text/html" is shown at the top of my webpage which i dont really want. This is generated by 

 
if ($type eq "nme")                    
{
$message = lmhandler::getAdd($find,$loadmap);
}
elsif ($type eq "addr")
    {
    $message = lmhandler::getmod($find,$loadmap);
    }
elsif ($type eq "root")            #create new cookie
    {
    $cookie = $query->cookie(-name=>'MY_COOKIE',
    -value=> $find,
    -expires=>'+1y',
    -path=>'/');
    print header( -cookie=>$cookie);
    }

please could you help me figure out how to stop this? Regards L :)
