# NAME Cookie::Baker - Cookie string generator / parser # SYNOPSIS use Cookie::Baker; $headers->push_header('Set-Cookie', bake_cookie($key,$val)); my $cookies_hashref = crush_cookie($headers->header('Cookie')); # DESCRIPTION Cookie::Baker provides simple cookie string generator and parser. # XS IMPLEMENTATION This module tries to use [Cookie::Baker::XS](https://metacpan.org/pod/Cookie::Baker::XS)'s crush\_cookie by default. If this fails, it will use Cookie::Baker's pure Perl crush\_cookie. There is no XS implementation of bake\_cookie yet. # FUNCTION - bake\_cookie my $cookie = bake_cookie('foo','val'); my $cookie = bake_cookie('foo', { value => 'val', path => "test", domain => '.example.com', expires => '+24h' } ); Generates a cookie string for an HTTP response header. The first argument is the cookie's name and the second argument is a plain string or hash reference that can contain keys such as `value`, `domain`, `expires`, `path`, `httponly`, `secure`, `max-age`. - value Cookie's value - domain Cookie's domain. - expires Cookie's expires date time. Several formats are supported expires => time + 24 * 60 * 60 # epoch time expires => 'Wed, 03-Nov-2010 20:54:16 GMT' expires => '+30s' # 30 seconds from now expires => '+10m' # ten minutes from now expires => '+1h' # one hour from now expires => '-1d' # yesterday (i.e. "ASAP!") expires => '+3M' # in three months expires => '+10y' # in ten years time expires => 'now' #immediately - path Cookie's path. - httponly If true, sets HttpOnly flag. false by default. - secure If true, sets secure flag. false by default. - crush\_cookie Parses cookie string and returns a hashref. my $cookies_hashref = crush_cookie($headers->header('Cookie')); my $cookie_value = $cookies_hashref->{cookie_name} # SEE ALSO CPAN already has many cookie related modules. But there is no simple cookie string generator and parser module.
