Dear Monks,

I used cookie.lib to insert and retrive cookies for my CGI/Perl e-commerce application. While I set the cookies to expire after three hours, the cookies lasted only for the current browser session. 

($ss, $mm, $hh, $dom, $mon, $yr, $wkd, $doy, $idt) = gmtime(time + 155
+52000);
@Mth = ('Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep',
+ 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec');
@Day = ('Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat');
$SetYear = 1900 + $yr;
$SetDay = $Day[$wkd];
$SetMonth = $Mth[$mon];
$SetDOM = sprintf('%02d', $dom);
&SetCookies('HBL5USERID',"$userid");
&SetCookieExpDate("$SetDay, $SetDOM-$SetMonth-$SetYear $hh:$mm:$ss GMT
+");
&SetCookieDomain('.healthbliss.net');

Did I do anything wrong with the above codes? Any help or comment would be deeply appreciated. Thank you!

Best regards,
Patrick
