Aack! Once again sent to the posted instead of the group. Sigh... __ Are you perchance using IIS? IIS has a known bug in version 3, 4, and 5 (yup, that's 3 versions!), where it ignores the Set-Cookie: header when combined with a Location: header. You can find

Curtis, thanks for your response. I didn't realise that the recompilation problem didn't apply unless I used /o. I am actually trying to split some multiline data into single lines, so the caret is intentional. The data is typed into a TEXTAREA, one url or string to a line. The url of the scrip

Re: Regexp compilation in mod_perl?

2001-06-01 Thread Curtis Poe
In the "mod_perl_traps" page, when it refers to regexes only being compiled once, it is specifically referring to regexes that use the /o modifier: my $x =~ /$somevar/o; In regular Perl (and mod_perl), that causes the pattern to only be compiled once. If the value of $somevar changes, the

G'day, I've got a problem with a script I'm writing which will run under mod_perl. It accepts a list of urls and a list of strings and returns a list of which urls contain which strings. That's not complicated and I got it working fairly quickly without any CGI involved. Then I tried to conver

The code below does run, but it always returns a message of "No cookie passed." I've refreshed the page, closed & reopened it & even quit my browser & reaccessed. I never get any message but "No cookie passed" I can look in the cookie list in IE's preferences, and the cookie is there. Frustrated

I forgot to mention something: the first time you access the script through your browser, it won't have the cookie (since this is the first time it's being set). The second time you access it, the browser will return the cookie value and the script will display it. > use strict; > use CGI; >

OK, I'm still having a problem. I still can't seem to manipulate the cookie data. Say I want to record someone's name and then print out "hello so-and-so" when they return to my site. (That's not what this is actually for, but it's the same idea.) Why doesn't the code below work on the second vis

I've figured out how to set a cookie, and I think I've retrieved it successfully (no errors, at least), but now how do I manipulate it? I can't figure out how to reference the cookie data. Here's an example of my code: use CGI; $q = new CGI(); $myCookie = $q->cookie(-name=>'Fyre',
