Easily put all cookies key / value pairs into a hash table.

While I am sure that for the majority of readers of this site the following my be trivial, obvious or just plain easy... There may be someone, somewhere for whom I could save 10 minutes...

my $cookie_name = "whatever the cookie name is...."; my %cookie_hash = (map { split /=/, $_ } $q->cookie('$cookie_name'));

    What's $q?

      Aha...

      $q is my query object (I'm using CGI.pm in an OO style.)

      e.g

      # Set up Pragmas + external modules use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; use CGI qw(:standard); my $q = new CGI; print $q->header; print "Hello World!\n"; my $cookie_name = "whatever you wanna call it"; my %cookie_hash = (map { split /=/, $_ } $q->cookie('$cookie_name')); +# print Dumper \%cookie_hash; print $q->end_html;

      Cheers
