Re^4: Perl CGI Cookies "Content-Type:text/html" showing at top of html.

Ahh yep I see why it is happening, However to set my cookie correctly I must print the cookie into the header(or so ive read); print header(-cookie=>$cookie); and for the html to work correctly I need to print print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; so how do I fix this?

I must print the cookie into the h....and for the html to work correctly I need Kindly go back to the manuals I linked :) You can only print the header once, and once only, this is the rule of HTTP, no way around it Instead of broken logic `if ( blah ){ print header( and cookie ); } print header;` [download] use correct logic for print headers only once `if ( blah ){ store cookie in variable } print header ( and $cookie )` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Instead of broken logic

if ( blah ){
    print header( and cookie );
}
print header;

if ( blah ){
