> CGI programming
Description: I am using CGI_Lite and I want to set a cookie and redirect to a url. I don't want to use CGI.pm which has a redirect method. Is there a way to redirect with setting a cookie and without using CGI.pm?
Thanks Answer: how do I set a cookie and redirect
contributed by kwaping Here's an example of how to do it using CGI's OO interface.
use CGI ();
my $cgi = CGI->new();
my $cookie = $cgi->cookie(-name => 'test', -value => '1');
print $cgi->redirect(-uri => 'http://www.perlmonks.org/', -cookie => $
+cookie);

contributed by epoptai Just print the headers like so:
print "Set-Cookie: name=value; path=path; domain=domain; expires=expir
+es;\n";
print "Location: http://whatever.net\n\n";

contributed by SmokeyB After you set your cookie, print out the following meta tag in the header of the file. It'll use the browser's refresh to direct you to a new page.
print qq~<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=url.html">\n~;
