OK, So I mangled things around and now I can get the cookie written
using CGI.PM
It looks something like this:
----------------------------------------
my $q = new CGI;
my $cookie = $q->cookie( -name => $COOKIENAME,
-value => $cookieContent,
-domain => "www.wpi.edu",
-expires => "+1h",
-path => "/cgi-bin/Regi",
-secure => 1 );
print $q->header(-cookie=>$cookie);
----------------------------------------
But this has introduced a new problem.
The very next thing I am doing in my script is forwarding the user to a
different script, just with a simple print "Location: ...\n\n" command.
But now that the header has been printed with CGI, this does not work.
Is there
any way for me to forward the user on to another page at this point?
Any advice?
Thanks again.
