Subject: Stumped on using CGI.pm cookie method
Message-Id: <d56o61ln5vp06d70j5ptno121ke1cm4mng@4ax.com>

I'm trying to implement a test on the values of two cookies using the CGI.pm
approach to cookies.  But, I'm getting the following error that's got me
stumped.  I'm real new to Perl, and am doing my best to figure this out.  I
sure could use some help with this.  Thanks much.  -- Don

Error messages in server log:
"Useless use of a constant in void context at wwwboard.pl line 110. Useless
use of a constant in void context at wwwboard.pl line 103"

Note:  line 103 is the opening brace on the "if" statement.  And, line 110
is the first line of the "eval" statement.

Start of code:
----------------------

    # Check to see if client has logged in and passed Username/Password
test.
    #
    my $query = new CGI;
    if(value=>[$query->cookie(-name=>'cpceLoggedInCookie')] ne 'true' or
value=>[$query->cookie(-name=>'cpceUsernamePasswordPassedCookie')] ne
'true')
    {
    # HTML code to be inserted here.
       exit;
    }
    # Done with login test.


    eval {
        sub SEEK_SET() { 0; }
    } unless defined(&SEEK_SET);

Why don't you just copy/paste the sample code given in the module's
documentation and then modify it for your situation?

If you copy/pasted the code you included into a complete program,
then the line numbers would be easier to count "by eye".

Have you seen the Posting Guidelines that are posted here frequently?

That is kind of bizarre, and I wonder why you think it would work.

What did you read that made you think you could do it that way?


It is the same as:

   if('value',[$query->cookie(-name=>'cpceLoggedInCookie')] ...
      ^     ^^
      ^     ^^

You have put a list into the (boolean) if-clause.

And you are comparing a *reference* to the string "true", that
comparison will always be false, making it into a useless test.

CGI.pm docs give this code:

   $riddle = $query->cookie('riddle_name');

So for your situation it would be:

   $riddle = $query->cookie('cpceLoggedInCookie');

Then plug it into an if-clause:

   if ( $query->cookie('cpceLoggedInCookie') ne 'true' ...

So is "no@adr.com" going to be the one?

Do you really own or work for adr.com?

It isn't nice to use other's names without permission...

Have you done that yet?

If you really mean that, then please learn how to compose a proper followup.

Soon.

I don't have much experience with Perl, so I'm sure the problem is probably
pretty obvious to many of you.  But, when I run the following GCI script I
find the "if" tests on "loggedInCookie"/value and
"usernamePasswordPassedCookie"/value both pass the "if".  But, the last "if"
shows that both "havelogin" and "haveusernameandpassword" are "false".
What's going on here?

Thanks for any help,
Don

"==" compares it's arguments for numeric equality.  You want "eq", which
compares them for string equality.

If you had enabled warnings (as guidelines for this group specifically
mention), the problem would have been made obvious.

Hint: String comparisons and numeric comparisons do not use the same
operator.

Is the OP going to:

[1] enable warnings
[2] change the comparison
[3] both
[4] neither

:-D.

The problem with string constants as used here is that a typo can 
introduce behaviour that will take you quite some time to pin down.

This code gives me the creepy feeling that anyone setting 
usernamePasswordPassedCookie to true is logged in...

The problem is even obvious to a _machine_.

If you ask it to, the machine will tell you where your problem is...

You aren't working smart.

You should always enable warnings when developing Perl code!

I have "use warnings" at the top of the module.  But, all I get is "500
server error" when I run the script on the server.

I changed the operators as suggested, but still get that error message, and
no warnings from Perl.

Please don't do this.  Use CGI.pm, and the "cookie" method there.
Otherwise, you will incorrectly declare an encoded value of "%74rue"
to be false, even though technically it's true.  (A browser could
choose to hexify every character of an incoming cookie at its
discretion.)

Did you look in your server logs? That is where STDERR goes
for CGI programs.

Did you try running your program from the command line rather than
from the CGI environment?

Have you read the answser to your Frequently Asked Question already?

   perldoc -q 500

       My CGI script runs from the command line but not the browser.  (500
       Server Error)

Have you checked out the Perl FAQs related to CGI programming with Perl?

   perldoc -q CGI

               Where can I learn about CGI or Web programming in Perl?

       How can I get better error messages from a CGI program?

Show the code.

Show the messages.

We are not very good mind readers...

Which standard allows browsers to send anything in a Cookie header but 
what it once received via a Set-Cookie header?

Do you know of any browser that actually does it?

Because if it didn't change, then it wouldn't be "variable",
it would be "constant".

But it has to *want* to change.

Oh, wait, wrong joke.

Don, since your email address is at adr.com, do you work for
JPMorgan Chase Bank or for Thomson Financial?

You don't debug a CGI script by trying to guessthe source of "server
errors". That's like searching for a needle in a haystack. Instead, rely
on Perl's own error messages, in the error log. CGI::Carp's
"fatalsToBrowser" can help, sending error messages to the browser
instead. (but do this only for debugging.)

See Tye McQueen's "warningsToBrowser", to extend the mechanism to
warnings, not just fatal errors.
