Re: perl/Cookie... basic question

Are you familiar with the CGI module? You can set and read cookies with the module. See the CGI documentation for details.

http://perldoc.perl.org/CGI.html#HTTP-COOKIES

There is also the CGI::Cookie module

Re: perl/Cookie... basic question

There is no such thing as a perl cookie. On the server end they are generally refered to as sessions, on the client side, they are called cookies. But there is no such thing as a perl cookie so I am not sure what you are wanting to do.

Re: perl/Cookie... basic question

Use an HTTP Cookie from the perl module mentioned above and set an expiration date into the future. That will store the cookie on the client's machine and it will retransmit it to your server. But storing the username is not a very secure solution.
