All,
ok, I think I nailed down the problem...
given the uri translation (by either mod_rewrite or PerlTransHandler)
/ --> /perl-bin/test.cgi
the code below will, by default
parse cookies whose path matches /
but bake cookies whose path matches /perl-bin
adding
-path => "/",
to the new cookie kinda solves my problem, but I am wondering if this
behavior is appropriate?
just curious...
--Geoff
## test.cgi code snip...
my %cookies = Apache::Cookie->new($r)->parse;
foreach (sort keys %cookies) {
my $cookie = $cookies{$_};
warn "$cookie->name, $cookie->value;";
}
my $cookie = Apache::Cookie->new($r,
-name => 'foo',
-value => 'bar',
-expires => '+10y'
);
$cookie->bake;
