in reply to Cookies for a Project

You'll want to visit: http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/#cookies

Update: My advice only applies if you are using CGI.pm, of course. But there is no way for me to know what you are doing...

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot";
$nysus = $PM . $MCF;

      As implied in nysus' reply, you really want to be using the module CGI.pm in this project. There is a submodule called CGI::Cookie, which specifically does what you want: reads the cookies -- you can either create a hash or leave them in the CGI object and read them off as you need them. In any case, check out Use CGI or die; on this site to see why this module is such a good idea.
