Retrieving a Cookie

[Eloff]

Okay I set a cookie with this script

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI;
$cgiobject = new CGI;

$cookie_data = 'test';

#check to see that a valid spy report was entered
if (1 == 1) {
$final_cookie=$cgiobject->cookie(-name=>'testing',
-value=>$cookie_data,
-expires=>'+6M');

print $cgiobject->header(-cookie=>$final_cookie);
}

print "cookie set, I hope!";

This script retrieves the cookie, it is a seperate script but it doesn't retrieve anything. Now i checked in my temporary internet files, the cookie was set correctly:[\B]

here's the script:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI;
$cgiobject = new CGI;

$cookie_data=$cgiobject->cookie("testing"

print ("Content-type: text/html\n\n"

print "cookie retrieved, I hope: ";
print "$cookie_data";

It doesn't retrieve anything. Now you can run these scripts at

and retcookie.cgi
