cookies and redirecting

[outcast]

i am having a problem. I am setting a cookie then trying to redirect a user using the CGI module. I believe the headers for the cookie are messing up the header for the redirect. Any thoughts?

If you do not post the relevant code, there is little we can do. If you've created the cookie, here's the syntax:</code>

print $query->redirect( -uri    => 'http://www.perlmonks.org/',
                        -cookie => $cookie );

Don't print any headers before that. Provide us the following:

• Relevant code (between <CODE> tags)
• Web server
• OS
• Perl version number

The problem will probably be easy to spot if you provide us with just the first two items from list.

    if(my $cryptpass = Intranet::Security::Authenicate($args{'username
+'},$args{'password'}))
    {
        my $co = new CGI;
        my $cookie = Intranet::Security::CreateUserCookie($args{'usern
+ame'},$cryptpass) || die " Could not create cookie";
        print $co->header( -uri=>'/maddenapps/test.cgi', -cookie=>$coo
+kie);
        exit;
    }
