Hi Monks,

Another cookie Q.
When does the cookie get created on the client side?
Is it possible to set a cookie value, create the cookie, and then fetch the cookie back to use its value, all in the same script?
i.e. Like this code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw(:header);
use CGI::Cookie;

# Create a new cookie
my $c = new CGI::Cookie;
$c->name("MY_COOKIE");
$c->value("blah");

# Print a html header with the cookie info
print header( -cookie=>[$c] );

# Find the value of the cookie we just created
my %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
if ($cookies{'MY_COOKIE'}) {
        print $cookies{'MY_COOKIE'}->value;
} # end-if

exit;

The above code is useless I know, and not in the context of which I am using it. But it does illustrate my Q perfectly.

Also it doesnt work. It only displays the value after the first refresh.

Cheers,
