in reply to The problems of multiple CGI headers

I think I confused the issue with my code. It boils down to, how do I 1) print a cookie, and 2) redirect in the "same breath?" ... I have finally managed to write the cookie and redirect at the same time, but without using CGI conventions.

You can pass the cookie to the redirect method; redirect is really just a specialized version of header:

print $query->redirect('http://www.example.org/', -cookie => $newcooki
+e);

Though now I look, I can't actually spot where this is documented.

    That was it! Worked perfectly.

    I was close. I had tried the very strange looking:

    print $query->header(-redirect=>'http://www.domain.com', -cookie=>$coo
+kie);

    but to no avail. Thanks.
