[ic] too many cookies?

[Tim Mirecki]

Hi Mike,

I think it is indeed a browser issue. I think what I need to do is set all
the information in a cookie, and split it later on. The reason I need the
cookies and the session information is because the cookie will be accessed
next time the customer wants to place an order - could be a week or more
later.

What's the best way to set a multi-part cookie and split it later on using
Interchange/perl?

Gracias!

Not a clue other than limits to cookies by a browser.

But why would you need the session if you have the cookies? And vice
versa? 8-)
