Hi, Sorry I did miss a few things. I updated my code as what is listed below but still no cookie is created. Thanks for your reply!

use CGI ();


#Create Cookie


$mc_cookie_domain_name = ".sample.com";
$mc_path_script = "/";
$mc_cookie_expiration_time = "+2h";
$mc_cookie_name = "Sample_Cookie";
#$mc_cookie_value = $mc_form_member_name;
$mc_cookie_value = "Logged In";

my $cgi = CGI->new();
my $cookie = $cgi->cookie(-name => $mc_cookie_name, -value => $mc_cook
+ie_value, -expires => $mc_cookie_expiration_time, -domain => $mc_cook
+ie_domain_name);
print $cgi->redirect(-url => 'https://www.sample.com/cgi-bin/confirm_a
+ccount_2.pl', -cookie => $cookie);

#End of Create Cookie

Are you sure? When I run this script from the command line it gives me pretty much what you'd expect:

G:\>type x.pl
use CGI ();


#Create Cookie


$mc_cookie_domain_name = ".sample.com";
$mc_path_script = "/";
$mc_cookie_expiration_time = "+2h";
$mc_cookie_name = "Sample_Cookie";
#$mc_cookie_value = $mc_form_member_name;
$mc_cookie_value = "Logged In";

my $cgi = CGI->new();
my $cookie = $cgi->cookie(-name => $mc_cookie_name, -value => $mc_cook
+ie_value,
-expires => $mc_cookie_expiration_time, -domain => $mc_cookie_domain_n
+ame);
print $cgi->redirect(-url => 'https://www.sample.com/cgi-bin/confirm_a
+ccount_2.p
l', -cookie => $cookie);

#End of Create Cookie

Hello Muba, Thank you for your reply. Yes, I am absolutely positive no cookie was created when I ran the script using internet explorer from the website. www.sample.com is not the website by the way I am scratching my head trying to work out why as I have used this script without problems in the past, albeit without the earlier mistakes I missed out on. Any thoughts as to why? IT appears to work but no cookie is created. Thanks in advance.
