I use CGI-Lite 1.8 as it is faster than the full CGI module. It indicates that it will hanle cookies, but does not indicate how!! Has anyone used it for this and if so, how do I set and get the cookies??
Otherwise, I looked at CGI::Cookie but the description indicates for use w/ Netscape....Okay w/ IE4+ ???
Other suggestions are appreciated. Example: I want to pass one cookie that expires at session end containing "id:1234567" and another that expires in 1 month containing "name:alan izat" how do I specify the domain and path parameters and how do they work? (Quick example would help). I then want to check for existence/content in various other scripts.

Thanks!

I would recommend using CGI.PM to handle cookies. I don't use it frequently, if you want to have more examples on it, Try www.webreview.com.
Later.
