Erik, I think your problem is not that HTTP_COOKIE isn't being set,
but that the format isn't what you are expecting. You are testing to see if
cookies contains 'name=' and if that fails, just assuming that HTTP_COOKIE
is empty. Did you try simply printing HTTP_COOKIE to see what value it
actually has?
I don't believe cookies are returned to the server as 'name=erik'
and 'value=test_cookie', but rather as 'erik=test_cookie'. So you should be
testing:
if ($cookies =~ /erik=/) {
