Sounds great, it'd be a nice addition to Apache2::Cookie. Getting the
secret through to freeze and thaw is the tricky bit - I guess it could
just be supplied to fetch() and new().
There are a couple of extras that I'm adding:
- a delete method which deletes the cookie by name (ie. you don't have
to create an object)
- an expiry time validator - if you absolutely need cookies to expire on
time, store the expiry time in the validated cookie and check it,
instead of relying on the user to expire it.
I really wanted a module called Cookie::Factory though.. the pod could
be so amazingly funny.
Hehe! Perl is punny sometimes... the other day I wrote "sub merge {"...
...back to the code for me, I've started using Set-Cookie2 and firefox
is ignoring them :(
