hello all,

Allow me to share my latest problem to leave me scatterbrained, the code, if you would study:

 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict; 

use CGI qw(:standard); 
use CGI::Cookie;
my $q = new CGI; 


my $cookie =   $q->cookie(-name  =>  "thename",
                          -value =>  "thevalue",
                          -Path  =>  "thepath");

my $cookie2 =  new CGI::Cookie(-name  =>  "thename2",
                               -value =>  "thevalue2",
                               -Path  =>  "thepath2");

print $q->header;                                     
print  $cookie; 
print $q->br; 
print $cookie2;

Fairly straightforward. When I run this via BBedit or via a terminal on my local mac, I receive this: 

 
Content-Type: text/html

thename=thevalue; path=thepath
thename2=thevalue2; path=thepath2

Which is exactly what I think should be given back ( strokes long, waxed mustache)

Although, when I access this code in a browser via the same CGI script , I receive the following: 

 
=-name; domain=-value; path=thename; expires=-path; secure
=-name; domain=-value; path=thename2; expires=-Path; secure

Wild, eh?

I'm running the stock Perl on mi mac, with version 2.56 of CGI/pm and version 1.12 of CGI::Cookie.

The offensive server is running version 2.752 of CGI.pm and version 1.12 of CGI::Cookie.

I haven't found the CHANGES or BUGS file associated with these modules, because I believe they're both bundled with Perl itself.

Anyone have a clue?

One real chocolate chip cookie to anyone that thinks they have a scan salt of an idea
