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.
