Ugh.. OK, step by stepping it. I've got the forwarding working, however, now
my script has stopped reading the cookies. Not only can I not ready MY
cookie,
but I can't ready ANY cookie.
This function was working perfectly fine. I didn't touch it at all
while IO was
testing the writing of the cookie. But now that the cookie can be written
correctly in all browsers it will not read at all.
I have even tried printing out ALL the cookies. It prints nothing.
poop.
Here's what I've got:
----------------------------------------------
my %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
my $userInfo = $cookies{"$COOKIENAME"}->value;
----------------------------------------------
I get an error on the second line of that code:
"Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at functions.pl line 45."
My brain is melting.
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
