in thread CGI::cookie query

THis seems like the best idea!!! I have tried it however with no success. What did you actually mean by 'may have to use a reference to @cookies' Does anybody know if it is possible to writea cookie with an array $query->header(-cookie=>@cookies);

    Use $query->header( -cookie=> \@cookies ); (note the '\', that makes the call use a reference to @cookies as opposed to the variable @cookies itself), instead of what I had initially. Again, it's untested, so it might not work, though I doubt that it won't work this way.

      Just to show you the code. $inputs is a hash 
      sub set_cookie_value
{
        my ($inputs) = @_;
    
        $query  = new CGI();                            
    
    my $cookie = "";
    my @cookies = ();

    my $key;     
    foreach $key (keys %$inputs)
    {    
        $cookie = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>$key, -value=>$inputs->{$key}
+, -expires=>$inputs->{$key}, -path=>'/', -domain=>'', -secure=>0);
        push (@cookies, $cookie);  
    } 
    
    print $query->header( -cookie=> \@cookies );  
}
