Using CGI: set cookie and redirect

[rpike]

How can I use the CGI module to set a cookie AND redirect immediately after it? What's the easiest way to accomplish this while using this particular module? Thanks in advance for any help.

You can pass -cookie parameter to redirect method:

use strict;
use warnings;

use CGI qw(:standard);

my $cookie = cookie( -name => 'test', -value => 'tset' );
print redirect( -uri => '/', -cookie => $cookie );

This is a classic case for "what did you try?" ...and since you've been a Monk for some 5 years, you may even have heard that before. In fact, this is one of two posts today by you demonstrating a serious lack of effort. - -
