using cookie lib.pl

[bretttt]

Hello, i have this,

use ../cookie-lib.pl;
$cookie{iboostuser}=$tell[2];
$cookie{iboostpassword}=$tell[0];
&set_cookie(time+86400,'

http://www.iboost.org','/',0);

It works fine in my HTML directory fine.
I am trying the same exact code in directory
HTML/Cart, And i get internal server error...
Can anyone explain or help me on this?
Thank you.

Sorry this might help, I know this is the full directory name on my server for my HTML directory
/usr/local/

http://www/virtual1/66/175/20/19/

Could an include or something help? I have read about includes but do not know how to put them in. Thank you.

If you're using the same exact code and the cookie-lib.pl is in the same place, I think you'll need to instead have:

use ../../cookie-lib.pl

You should consider using CGI.pm instead of cookie-lib.pl. It handles cookies better plus gives you many shortcuts for generating html and handling forms.

How exactly would i go about doing that.
I use this to read cookies.

use CGI::Cookie;
$in = new CGI;
$coname = $in->cookie ( -name => 'iboostuser' );
$copass = $in->cookie ( -name => 'iboostpassword' );
open (CHE, "../cgi-bin/users/$uname/INFO$uname"

That's how you should be reading cookies, how are you setting them and/or where/what are you trying to use cookie_lib.pl?

When you say "use" to include another file, you're probably really after "require" instead. See faq219-1972.
