in reply to Cookie Function Thingy

Anonymous...

I don't think we can proceed much further without seeing your code, or at least the relevant sections. Seems to me that the question has more to do with cookies than Perl, but we can't tell without some code, since the stuff you've told us seems OK. (Make sure you enclose it in <CODE></CODE> tags.)

Also, to echo btrott above... what do you mean when you say that CGI.pm doesn't work for you? Do you mean that it gives an error, that it's not on your site, or just that you don't like it?

    Well, from that later email, it seems he/she is on tripod. And tripod is pretty limited in the modules they provide, I think. There's a list, and it doesn't include CGI::Cookie. So perhaps that explains it (it does include CGI.pm, but I think the poster would need CGI::Cookie as well in order to use cookies, so that rules that out).

      Hmmm.... no, CGI by itself handles cookies fine with its cookie() method. You don't need CGI::Cookie in addition, I don't think... correct me if I'm wrong, smoking something, or both.

        I think I read somewhere that the CGI.pm folks are trying to split the functionality into a number of smaller modules, so you don't have to load and compile the whole beast if you only want to use part of it.

        No, you're quite right. I was just confused.
