cookie set now how can i retreive the value

JBowes has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

the cookie is set by a prgroam at http://storm.prohosting.cin/fightior/cgi-bin/login.pl the code that sets the cookie is as follows

use CGI ':standard';
my $query = CGI->new();
my $cookie = $query->cookie(-name=>'username',
                            -value=>$query->param('name'), 
                             -expires=>'+1h',
                            -domain=>'storm.prohosting.com');
print $query->header(-cookie => $cookie);
[download]

the program that will retrieve that data will be at http://storm.prohosting.cin/fightior/cgi-bin/warrior.pl. I hve been unable to retrieve the cookie and have used mutliple methods but i always end up with a null value. The cookie is set because I have looked at it. Thank you in advance

Simply call it by it's name. Like a dog: `my $spot = $query->cookie('username');` [download] or: `my $fido = $query->cookie( -name => 'username' );` [download] Just don't provide the value parameter. [ ar0n ]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
