 Hi Gang,

 On a similar vein but to do with perl (but still cookies).  How could I set
 and expiration time for a cookie so that it expires in an hour if the user
 forgets to close their browser.

 Is it as tedious as taking a snapshot of the date/time the cookie is set
 then adding 3600 to it?  Im sure there are other issues like, what if they
 are still within my site and the time expires.  Can I check for that and
add
 another hour (Im starting to scare myself).

> Thanks

 I'll put forward tips.
