Perl secure session


I was wondering if there is any way of setting the session cookie (CGISESSID) attribute isSecure to true in Perl? I know at least in php it is easy to with:

ini_set('session.cookie_secure', 1);

Is there some similar way to do this in Perl?

assuming you use CGI::Cookie to build your cookie and $headers is a HTTP::Headers object you could use the following code:

require CGI::Cookie;
my $cookie = CGI::Cookie->new(
    -name => 'testcookie', -value => 'testvalue', -secure => 1);
$headers->push_header(set_cookie => $cookie->as_string);
