Basically to set a cookie;

Code:
my $cookie = $IN->cookie( -name => 'CookieName', -value => "whatever value of variable here", -path => '/', -expires => '+1y' );

# save the cookie...
print $IN->header( -cookie => $cookie );

And to read, something like;

Code:
my $cut_up = $IN->cookie('CookieName');

Thats pretty much the simplest terms to put it in Smile

Hi Andy

While you're example is appreciated, I think it would be a good idea to note how one would actually populate $IN in your example and it's correlation to your snippet.

See the CGI.pm docs for complete documentation.

Whoops....good point.

To define $IN, use something like;

Code:
use CGI;
$IN = new CGI;
