Re: Cookie questions

[Boysenberry Payne <suppressed>]

Oops, I forgot the some code:

# to set
$cookie = { -name => "foo", -value => "bar", -path => "/" };
my $data = [];
push( @$cookie_data, Apache2::Cookie->new( $r, %{$cookie} ) );
foreach ( @$cookie_data ) {
	$_->bake( $r );
}

# now to unset
my $jar = Apache2::Cookie::Jar->new( $r );
my $cookies = $jar->cookies;
if ( defined $cookies->{foo} ) {
	$cookie = { -name => "foo", -value => "bar", -path => "/", -expires  
=> "0" };
	push( @$cookie_data, Apache2::Cookie->new( $r, %{$cookie} ) );
	foreach ( @$cookie_data ) {
		$_->bake( $r );
	}
}
