You also might want some background on the HTTP header field for Set-Cookie - sort of behind the scenes of what the CGI module does.
I'd suggest some research for "RFC 2109" and "http set-cookie". I found this helpful to understand the simple cookie header-field syntax, separate from the CGI methods syntax in it's perldoc. A couple links I turned up that gave me a better understanding for example are below, but you should do your own research to make sure all details are up to date (for example, the netscape info below pre-dates the RFC but was the nbr. 1 result from Google). http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html HTH - John >>> "Kipp, James" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/5/2003 8:04:16 AM >>> > > > Can anyone point me to some good docs for using cookies > with Perl/CGI.

Really very little to them. Thanks. Maybe I will read again. I do have a specific question, but I want to test a little first, then when i get stuck, i will ask the question -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
