6 OpenFrame::Cookies - An abstract cookie class
7
9 use OpenFrame;
10 my $cookies = OpenFrame::Cookies->new();
11 $cookies->set("animal" => "parrot");
12 my $colour = $cookies->get("colour")->value;
13 $cookies->delete("colour");
14 my %cookies = $cookies->get_all();
15
17 "OpenFrame::Cookies" represents cookies inside OpenFrame. Cookies in
18 OpenFrame represent some kind of storage option on the requesting side.
19
20 Cookies are a general mechanism which server side connections can use
21 to both store and retrieve information on the client side of the con‐
22 nection. The addition of a simple, persistent, client-side state sig‐
23 nificantly extends the capabilities of Web-based client/server applica‐
24 tions. "OpenFrame::Cookies" is an abstract cookie class for OpenFrame
25 which can represent cookies no matter how they really come to exist
26 outside OpenFrame (such as CGI or Apache cookie objects).
27
29 new()
30
31 The new() method creates a new "OpenFrame::Cookies" object. These can
32 hold multiple cookies (although they must have unique names) inside the
33 cookie tin.
34
35 my $cookies = OpenFrame::Cookies->new();
36
37 set()
38
39 The set() method adds an entry:
40
41 $cookies->set("animal" => "parrot");
42
43 get()
44
45 The get() method returns a cookie (a "OpenFrame::Cookie" object) given
46 its name:
47
48 my $colour = $cookies->get("colour")->value;
49
50 delete()
51
52 The delete() method removes a cookie element given its name:
53
54 $cookies->delete("colour");
55
56 get_all()
57
58 The get_all() method returns a hash of all the cookies:
59
60 my %cookies = $cookies->get_all();
