How about cookies?

Hi kawin !
How do I set/read a cookie with perl (100 pts for code)? do cookies work with each system ?

They work for people that accept cookies, people who don't accept cookies they do not work for.

and wht about the diffrent operating systems ? does win/ns and unix/ns use the same syntax for cookies ? i heared the opposite. can i set a cookie if the cgi is not on the server where my site is ?

Please send me a source which sets a cookie including "Test" and which has a sub routine to read the cookie.

Thanks for your answer. Currently I'm stressed, I'll try it in the next days

Hi ventolin !
I got a problem. I can't set the cookies. I think this could be because my domain is routed to http://other-servers'-ip-adress/plw/cgi-bin
Do you know how to solve this ? My directory has no IP-Adress.

not sure i understand your situation... what do you mean your "domain is routed to http://other-servers'-ip-adress/plw/cgi-bin"?  are you setting your cookie on one machine and trying to retrieve it from another?

my domain www.anyserver.de is routed to http://212.223.56.6/cgi-bin/plw/anyserver/

I'm not able to set a cookies. Perhaps because domain=>'.anyserver.de' isn't valid when it is routed ?

Because you are using two different machines, the server issuing the cookie must be a member of the domain that it tries to set in the cookie. That is, a server called www.anyserver.de cannot set a cookie for 212.223.56.6, because 212.223.56.6 is not part of the www.anyserver.de domain.

You could utilize the poor implementation of cookies in 90% of browsers to work around it, but it itsn't good practice:
