When I posted the code, I left the domain in there as I assumed you were testing it on
that
server. If you are testing with a different domain, you can't retrieve the cookie
(this is a
security measure to ensure that you can't read cookies set by other sites).
Removing the following should work:
-domain => '.biola.edu'
I successfully ran the following code:
use strict;
use CGI;
my $q = CGI->new;
my $myCookie = $q->cookie( -name => 'Fyre',
-value => 'blah,blah,blah',
-expires => '+3M' );
my $cookie_value = $q->cookie( 'Fyre' );
print $q->header( -cookie => $myCookie ),
$q->start_html,
$q->p( "Test" );
if ( ! $cookie_value ) {
print $q->p( "No cookie passed" );
} else {
print $q->p( $cookie_value );
}
print $q->end_html;
Since domain is not specified, it should return the value (as it did for me).
When you don't specify the domain, it will default to your domain.
