Answer: How can I delete a cookie?
contributed by Ovid See How can I maintain a session cookie for more information.
If you don't set an expiration date on a cookie that you've created, it will be deleted when the browser is closed.
If the user wants to delete a cookie created in a previous session, you can set the expiration date of the cookie in the past (or possibly set it to "", I haven't tried this).
If you'd like to learn more, you can read Netscape's Preliminary Specification for cookies. | Answer: How can I delete a cookie?
contributed by Toxa Use "expires" or you can send the cookie again with a null value "";
Ex:
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Cookie;
my %CookieVars = (
ISAUTH => $ActualCookieVars{ISAUTH},
USERNAME => $ActualCookieVars{USERNAME},
AUTHLEVEL => $ActualCookieVars{AUTHLEVEL},
MYNUMBER => "$mynumber"
);
# set cookie to the user
my $cookie1 = new CGI::Cookie(
-name=>'Test',
-value =>\%CookieVars, # var to be sent
-expires=>'+1h', # time to expire
-domain=>"teste.com", # domain
-path=>'/', #option path
-secure=>0 # no ssl
);
