in reply to Question regarding CGI and cookies

It looks like you're missing your form code. The above simply prints out the contents of a submitted basket -- from another form on another page.

To add the form code, take a look at CGI.

Hope that helped,

    As you can see from the above html code, when the user clicks a radio button, it sends the data to a cgi script. This was an exercise in the book we had to do for a graded assignment, with very confusing examples to help us. Just wanting to understand the process the script makes the cookie form the code I submitted, because the process seesm backward unless perl just executes in the no particular order.....
