Re: Retrieving cookie expiration date
No, the expiration date is not sent by the browsers back to the server. The browser only checks if the cookie is not expired, and if it is not, it sends it, otherwise it doesn't.

RE: Retrieving cookie expiration date
read 'perldoc cgi', go to the http cookies section. you can retrieve a cookie into a hash which will include the exp date.

Re: Retrieving cookie expiration date
Could you tell us how to do that? I've seen that the cookie is returned by the browsers in the HTTP_COOKIE environment variable in the form: HTTP_COOKIE=cookie_name=cookie_value;next_cookie_name=next_cookie_value; but no expiration date is sent. I don't think the CGI module is able to find the expiration date of a cookie. But if the programmer wants, he can set this expiration date in the value of the cookie.

Variable $q will not stay shared at
Hello, I'm working on my first Perl project. Most of my cgi programs work ok, but a look at the apache error log reveals this warning which is clear to me: Variable $xy will not stay shared at /data/www/cgi-perl/envir.pl line 19. [Wed Jul 16 11:44:57 2003] [error] Undefined subroutine Apache::ROOT::cgi_2dperl::environ_2epl::start_html called at /data/www/cgi- perl/envir.pl line 20. For instance: This code will trigger such warning. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI; my $xy = new CGI; print $xy-header(); print $xy-start_html(); print $xy-p( Perl-CGI); print $xy-end_html; # I tried several alternatives, like invoking print() only once at header. But I can't feature out what that warning actually means. My apache is configure with mod_perl. Besides that, my project will consist of 1 main Perl script and several modules in a subdirectory which will be performing various functions. Now; what I intend to do is always send the main script a parameter through the URL, which will then indicate which of the modules should be called. Each of my modules will contains subroutines for various functions: My question is: How do I send a parameter to my script through a link on my web page? I tried something like this, but did not work. a href=cgi-perl/mainprogram.pl?action=cup_of_coffeeA cup of coffee /a What I'm trying to do here is to send the string cup_of_coffee to the main program. The main program will have something like this to store the parameter from the url: @forwarded_by_url = ??? # Am not sure here. Can someone tell me how to implement it? That will be great!
