Am I kerbonkers or has anyone else noted that the browser only sends
the cookies when you submit a form to an URL? If I just put the URL
of my script in the Location window and hit return, no cookie info comes in
the HTTP_COOKIE variable.

This is mentioned nowhere in Netscape's Tech notes on Cookies nor their
Cookie Specification.

Am I missing something vital here???

PS. stay tuned... Cookie Editor coming up. (Perl 5 Cookie and CookieJar
objects, anyone?)
