Re: CGI to redirect using sessions

[1nickt]

Your script does not contain

use strict;
use warnings;

If that's what the examples you followed led to, you may have followed the wrong PM examples!

If you do add strict and uncomment warnings, your script outputs this:

Variable "$cookie" is not imported at ./foo line 51.
    (Did you mean &cookie instead?)
Variable "$cookie" is not imported at ./foo line 56.
    (Did you mean &cookie instead?)

    (Did you mean &cookie instead?)

See why it's important?
