#!perl
use CGI::Cookie;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

$cookie1 = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>'samir',-value=>'alpha334loggedinzulu216589limalinebeta470087',-expires=>'+30d');
print "Set-Cookie: $cookie1\n";
print "Location:http://localhost:90/cgi-bin/list/test_local2.pl\n\n";
----------------
test_local2.pl
-----------------
#!perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
print "test_local2<BR><BR><BR>";
print $ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'};

Hi Samir,

Your problem is that cookies can only be sent back to domains with two levels... (or two dots)

from [cookiecentral.com...]

Cookies can be assigned to individual machines, or to an entire Internet domain. The only restrictions on this value is that it must contain at least two dots (.myserver.com, not myserver.com) for the normal top-level domains, or three dots for the "extended" domains (.myserver.ny.us, not myserver.ny.us)

To get round this use your ip address for setting and browsing on your development box 127.0.0.1

Good luck
