No didn't work.

Here is the code I use to set my cookie:

# I pass $exp a zero for the expiration date
sub setCookie {
    my($name, $val, $exp) = @_;
    
    print "Set-Cookie: ";
    print "$name=$val; expires=$exp\n";
};

If I say go to another site then come back my cookie
is still saved and the user is still logged in. How
can I make it expire after he leaves the page?
