Write a Perl code to set and read cookies to/from browsers of site visitors

$8-15 USD / hour

I have a website with dynamic pages written in Perl, hosted on an Apache server. I need to set cookies to browsers of site visitors and then read these cookies the next time they visit. I have a simple Perl script that is supposed to do that but it's not doing a great job. Sometimes it sets cookies just fine, but more often it fails. I need someone to fix it. I suppose it's a simple task for someone who knows how to do that. The sooner you can do this, the better. Today or tomorrow would be great. Please don't offer me to write the script in PHP. Javascript might be OK. I can only use the packages already installed on the server and I can't install anything additionally to support your code. Ask me if you need some specific package for your favorite method to work.

Hello, I am the premier Perl scripting expert on these freelancing sites. Cookies are transmitted in the HTTP header - but they must be put there by the script. The fact that your site uses some cookies properly indicates that your script(s) support some of them. Why not all? That is something to investigate. Cookies are domain specific so they may not be returned from a browser. Cookies also expire - which may explain why they disappear (without warning). In addition, scripts must request their cookies and process them accordingly. So much can go wrong with cookies. Let's see what is going on with your site. I can set a budget for this task when I review your site and scripts. A milestone payment for the full budget for your project must be deposited with this site before your offer can be accepted.

It might be a not so simple task as you seem to suppose. Is mod_perl installed on the server? if you'd have some examples for when your existing script fails, that might help as well. If the underlying server is Linux based, I'm ready to help and would be glad to do it. Thank you.

All websites I made in the last 15+ years are are in Perl and all use cookies. It can be manually coded or a bit easier to use a Perl module. I use CGI::Session as the user is passed only one cookie and the rest is saved on the server. If the session cookie is set to last for a year or whatever all the data from the user is saved and if he returns you can reuse it for whatever you want. Also it might be possible for current code to be fixedif there it's really a problem in the code and not a client issue (users disabling cookies, browsing anonymously, etc.).
