If you are not a member of the Perl-win32-web or Perl-win32-users mailing list, I suggest you join.  They have been active for over 4 years that I know of and are a HUGE pool of talent.  You can join here; http://www.activestate.com/support/mailing_lists.htm

While it doesn't answer your question, it will help your quest for a solution.

I do this very easily in .asp pages, the function is the same...;

<%
' Check for the cookie
Cookie = Request.Cookies("Wine")
%>
<% ElseIf Action="New" Then
            If Cookie = "" Then
Response.Redirect "nope.asp"
%>
      <% Else %>
            <!--#include file="nblank.inc"-->
            <% End If %>
<% End If %>

Thanx, i appreciate the info. There's more code for javascript than perl, so i'm using that instead. I'm going to delete the question in a couple days. :)

Sorry didn't read the original question very well. The above answer is for reading a cookie, have a look at the readme for CGI.pm. This module should cover most of what you probably would want to do.

Why don't you just add a value to the cookie file that is created when the cookie is, like PageId=1, then if you check the cookie upon entering a page it is simply a matter of checking the pageId in the cookie and redirect if true.

You know you can always modify an existing cookie...

Take a look at the HTTP::Cookie.pm module in your Perl load.

Thanx... ive figured it out in both perl and javascript now. Thanks again,
bye.
