I have a simple mod_perl handler which is attempting to restore a record
from a database based on the cookie returned by the browser.
I know, from both netscape's cookie warning messages and looking at the
response headers that the cookie is set correctly. I even know it comes
back from Netscape correctly.
I am using the CGI class to parse the cookies (automatically) and it seems
that they are being parsed from HTTP_COOKIE on '; ' (from CGI.pm):
my(@pairs) = split("; ",$raw_cookie);
Unless I'm missing something this will cause what I'm seeing - the last
cookie in the list will be set to it's value, plus a literal ;
Somewhere i remember seeing commentary on this bug before...Does anyone
have any pointers on the fix?
