Hi people,
I want to learn how to deal with cookies, I'm programming in Perl and I need to know how to set/get/delete cookies.
I understand how they work.
Please provide a code or tell me where can I read about using cookies.
Thanx! Smiling

If you need exact help with a script, post back and we'll get you going. But the above link should be all you need.

all you should need is that:

my $cookiename = "skincookie";
#cookie-stuff
my $cookie = cookie(
	-NAME    => $cookiename,
	-VALUE   => $list{'skin'},
        -PATH    => '/',
	-EXPIRES => "+360d"
);
print "Set-Cookie: $cookie\n";   #set cookie

my $skinncookie = $query->cookie($cookiename); #read cookie

now you can do anything with $skincookie.

i hope it helps... Smiling
