How can PERL access client cookie info.
However you do it, you will only be able to read
cookies that your site has placed on the client`s
machine.<br><br>Anyway, for a start, try playing around with
$ENV{HTTP_COOKIE} or have a look at Matts Script Archive:
<a href=http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/
target=new>http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/</a><br><br>Greg

How can PERL access client cookie info.
Here is a very simple subroutine used to parse
cookie data into a Hash:<br><br>sub parseCookies
{<br> my %cookie;<br> my $cdata =
$ENV{`HTTP_COOKIE`};<br> my @cookies = split(/; /,$cdata);<br> foreach $i
(@cookies) {<br> ($cname,$cid) =
split(/=/,$i);<br> $cookie{$cname} = $cid;<br> }<br> return
%cookie;<br>}<br><br>You
would use it like this:<br>my %cookies =
&parseCookies;<br><br>You may need to add extra code to remove any
URL-encoding in the cookies. Hope this helps.
