Deleting cookies with FireFox/Perl returns 500 error?
I'm a Perl programmer and I'm developing a new site. I need to use client-side cookies with this one, so the first thing I'm doing is getting that squared away. This may seem to be a Perl question at first, but it's not...

With IE my script works fine and I can forcibly expire the cookie by sending a negative expiration date for it.

With Firefox you can log in fine.. the cookie works.. but when I try to forcibly expire it then I get a "500" error.

Is there a different method for expiring a cookie with Firefox as opposed to IE?

Thanks.. even though I have to fetch my cookies with Perl, I see no harm in using Javascript to set and delete them. Somehow I never thought of that!


However, if someone does know a method of deleting (or expiring) cookies via HTML header in FireFox I'd be curious to see it. I've searched all over and nothing seems to work!
