[thelist] cookies in perl/cgi

[Adrian Fischer]

Again ..thanks Anthony,

I finally got it so that I can set a cookie but I want it to expire when the
browser is closed.  I am setting using the date as you suggested :
print "Set-Cookie: approved=YES; expires=Tue-25-Jul-2000 00:00:00 GMT;

Could you please explain the format for getting it to expire when the
browser closes?

>   #Setting Cookie
>   print "Content-type: text/html\n";
>   print "Set-Cookie: CookieName=Value; expires=$varGMTExpireDate
GMT;path=/; \n\n";


Geeze...I hope I can sort out how to read the cookie easier than I managed
to work out how to set it.

Thanks again
