Hi,

I have the following script which sets a cookie.

#!/usr/bin/perl

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

my $c = CGI::Cookie->new(-name    =>  'mycookie',
                          -value   =>  ['foo','bar'],
                          -secure => 1,
                          -HttpOnly => 1,
                          -expires =>  '+3M');
  
  
print "Set-Cookie: $c\n";
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

Everything works as expected with the exception of the httponly flag which is not being set. I have used Firefox and Chrome to view the headers but neither show as having the httponly flag set.

I have tried every solution I can find including different modules but nothing works for me. Does anyone have experience of using httponly whether successful or not?

Any guidance here will be gratefully accepted. I really could do with some help before I pull out what little hair I have left!

Thanks
