in reply to PERL Cookies playing with JavaScript Cookies

The method used to set the cookie should be independent of the cookie itself. Are you restricting access to a specific path? If so, maybe the Perl script isn't allowed to access it because it isn't in the required path.

    I'm not quite folllowing you about the path part because in the perl I do a CGI::Application->cookie() and I get all the cookie names that I want to change. Both Perl and JS. I can use the values from both too, I can't modify the JS ones though.

      The default path for CGI.pm cookie is '/'. If your JS is creating the cookie in another path Perl probably will not read it. You can see the cookie's path in your browser (at least I can on Firefox).

        Thanks man, that is it. I don't know why it didn't come out and smack me in the face harder than what it did do.
