Cookies

Hi,
I am setting a cookie: cookie1, in my perl/cgi scriptA, using the class CGI.pm
I can also retrieve the value of the cookie1 in my scriptB. But could i retrieve the same cookie1 value using javascript.

I just wonder why javascript cannot interact with perl/CGI functions. ??
Someone has any suggestions.
Thanks,

i think you're asking how to work with cookies in javascript. if that's what you're after, here's a good tutorial on the subject: http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/98/29/index1a.html
