Hi Curtis, Thanks for your help, I am actually on IIS so you have saved me a lot of troubles. Do you know how to work around this ? >From the microsoft article below it seems like running in nph mode should solve it but redirect(-uri => xxx.cgi, -cookie => $cookie, -nph => 1) does not solve it and neither does using the -nph pragma in the the use CGI line.

Hi Alex, Is there any chance that you are on IIS? IIS has had a long-standing bug in version 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 where you cannot set a cookie and do a redirect at the same time unless you switch to non-parsed header scripts. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q176113 Cheers, Curtis "Ovid" Poe ===== "Ovid" on http://www.perlmonks.org/ Someone asked me how to count to 10 in Perl: push@A,$_ for reverse q.e...q.n.;for(@A){$_=unpack(q|c|,$_);@a=split//; shift@a;shift@a if $a[$[]eq$[;$_=join q||,@a};print $_,$/for reverse @A __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
