Hello,
I'm trying to use CGI::Cookie module calling it from CGI::Application
environment in cgiapp_prerun like this:
sub cgiapp_prerun {
my $self = shift;
my $cookie = CGI::Cookie->new(
-name => 'some_name',
-value => '12345',
-domain => '.come_domain.com',
-path => '/',
-expires => '+1H',
-secure => 1,
);
$self->header_add(-cookie => [$cookie]);
return $self;
}
But nothing is happening, and this test cookie is not being set in the browser
(Firefox).
However, when I try to do this:
sub cgiapp_prerun {
my $self = shift;
my $q = $self->query();
my $cookie = $q->cookie('some_name' => '12345');
$self->header_add(-cookie => [$cookie]);
return $self;
}
It works and the cookie name and its value is being set in the browser.
My question are:
1. Why it didn't work in the first case.
2. If the first case won't work, then how I can set all the cookie parameters
e.g. domain, path, expires, secure using the second case.
3. How I can retrieve my cookie from the browser is the recommended first case
to set cookie is not working, and the second case is working but I cannot see
any method to retrieve my own cookie?
Thank you very much in advance.
Alex
