RE: [cgiapp] [cookies] Having problems getting info out of my cookie

The code I'm using is pretty much a cut and paste from the CGI perldoc page :


>    To retrieve a cookie, request it by name by calling cookie() method

>            use CGI;

>            %answers = $query->cookie('answers');
>
>      Cookies created with a single scalar value, such as the "riddle_name"

Since my cookie is defined as hash data :

my %cookie_data = (  name => 'blah',
                                            email => 'blahblah',
                                            ...
                                        );

my $cookie = new CGI::Cookie( -name    =>  'techweb',
                                                               -value   =>
\%cookie_values,
                                                               -expires =>
'+1h',
                                                 );

If I do

my %data = $query->cookie('techweb');

I can see the elements from my original hash as

$data{'name'}
$data{'email'}
$data{'...'}

This works fine.

Regards

Paul
