Here, to help some here are the basics of setting and reading cookie with Perl
Setting Cookies With Perl1.) Create a new CGI object
python
use CGI;
$cgi_query = new CGI;
2.) Create your cookie using the
cookie() method in Perl. In this example we will create a cookie named
SITE_COOKIE with a value of
SITE=http://www.example.com and it will expire in 24 hours. You use the
cookie() method before calling the
header() method
python
$cookie = $cgi_query->cookie(-name=>'SITE_COOKIE',
-value=>'SITE=http://www.example.com',
-expires=>'+24h',
-path=>'/');
3.) Create the HTTP header and print the doctype
python
print $cgi_query->header(-cookie=>$cookie);
Reading Cookies With Perl1.) Create a new CGI Object
python
use CGI;
$cgi_query = new CGI;
2.) Create the HTTP header and print the doctype statement
python
print $cgi_query->header;
3.) Start the HTML doc, and give the page a title
python
print $cgi_query->start_html('My cookie-get.cgi program');
4.) Retrieve the cookie. Do this by using the
cookie() method without the -value parameter.
python
print $cgi_query->h3('The cookie is ...');
$theCookie = $cgi_query->cookie('SITE_COOKIE');
Now you have a variable,
$theCookie that holds the name and value of your cookie. That should at least get you headed down the right path. Happy coding!
NOTE:I know all the code blocks were done in Python. I did this because there doesn't seem to be support for syntax highlighting for Perl, so I used Python for better syntax highlighting for my example code
