Can't set cookies	Can't Post

I'm unable to set a cookie.

Using:

print "Set-Cookie:language=$formdata
{'language'}\n";

Thanks in advance

Try HTTP:Cookies;

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>

use HTTP::Cookies;
$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new;

$cookie_jar->add_cookie_header($request);
$cookie_jar->extract_cookies($response);
</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Sending the Cookie to the Browser

Within a CGI script you can send a cookie to the browser by creating
one or more Set-Cookie: fields in the HTTP header. Here is a typical
sequence:

my $c = new CGI::Cookie(-name => 'foo',
-value => ['bar','baz'],
-expires => '+3M');
print "Set-Cookie: $c\n";
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

Recovering Previous Cookies

%cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;

fetch returns an associative array consisting of all cookies
returned by the browser. The keys of the array are the cookie names. You
can iterate through the cookies this way:

%cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
foreach (keys %cookies) {
do_something($cookies{$_});
}
