I asked this question quite recently and had it answered. So now it's my turn.....

A cookie can be deleted by setting an expiry date in the past. You can either do this by setting an absolute date such as 1 Jan 1998 - or by using a relative value such as 2 days ago.

The Netscape documentation says:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">quote:</font><HR>If a CGI script wishes to delete a cookie, it can do so by returning a cookie with the same name, and an expires time which is in the past. The path and name must match exactly in order for the expiring cookie to replace the valid cookie. This requirement makes it difficult for anyone but the originator of a cookie to delete a cookie.[/quote]

Well, just use some real date in the past, say January 2nd, 1990. It will do the same thing. So, use your previous header:

[b]print "Set-Cookie: name=value1; expires='+1h';9Àëg¸Zg#àìgä{iÌÈcbg¹?@
