It's up to you, but I don't mind if you give them to me.

Last question:<br />
<br />
in the page specifield by ozo there is the passage<br />
&quot;<br />
expires is an optional attribute. If not specified, the cookie will expire when the user's session ends.&quot;<br />
<br />
it refers to broswer's session or to OS's sessions?<br />
<br />
There is a big difference.

Cookie without using something external (ie CGI.pm or something else):

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
