Fellow Monks

After seeking advice in the CB on baking cookies, i need some information eating them (ie fetching values), as the CPAN page is'nt really clear

I can fecth the value from a cookie which has only one value, but I am now using a cookie which has two values

    $admincookie = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>'LSRfm_admin',
                               -value=>{ username => barrycarlyon,
                                         password => md5_hex_value } 
                               );

Using the fetch script I wrote which finds the cookie of the given name and returns the value, i get:

#fetch the (cgi)type cookie
sub _cookie {
#read in the lsrfm cookie to test
  my $self = shift;
#  my $cgi = CGI->new;
#  my $type = $cgi->param('type');
  my $type = shift;
#lets check to see if the lsrfm cookie exits
#fecth the domains cookie
  my %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
  my $cookies;
  my $lsrfm_cookie;

  if (!%cookies)
  {
    #a domain cookie doesnt exist
    #leave as blank
  }
  else
  {
    #a domain cookie exists
    #fetch the type value
    my $n = 0;
    my $this_cookie;
    my @cookies = (keys %cookies);
    foreach (keys %cookies)
    {
      $this_cookie = $cookies[$n];
      if ($this_cookie eq ('LSRfm'.$type))
      {
        $lsrfm_cookie = $cookies{'LSRfm'.$type}->value;
      }
    $n ++;
    }
  }
return $lsrfm_cookie;
}

Using: my $cookie = LSRfm::Application::Cookie->_cookie('_admin'); to fetch the cookie, I dont think you need the Cookie Create Script it is the same as that in CPAN, except the relevant items of date are swapped for $whatever, fetched using my $whatever = shift;, but I can add it if people want it

{ username => barrycarlyon, password => 025a38ae929ace0637824f7728da371d }

So i would like to put the username into $username and the password md5_hex hash into $password

Hope you can help
