Try to retrieve a cookie, but gets an empty string for the cookie.

----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/env perl -w

use CGI qw(:standard);
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

my $cookie = cookie( -name => 'car', -value => 'GM');

my $car = cookie('car');
print "car = $car";

print header(-cookie=>$cookie);
----------------------------------------------------

web-page output:

car =
Set-Cookie: car=GM; path=/ Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 01:51:06 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

Thanks in advance.
