grep through code to find references to cookies

[thomasamillergoogle]

I need to write a perl script that will search through HTML, JS, and PL
files that will search for programming code that references cookies.

Any idea how to do this (examples) that will ignore phrases like "i ate
some cookies" but find programming references to cookies?

Your task is simple *once* you have identified what "programming
references to cookies" look like.

for perl
"->cookie"
"Set-Cookie: "


for js
"document.cookie"

for perl
"->cookie"
"Set-Cookie: "

print "This program doesn't use Set-Cookie\n";
# nor does it use the ->cookie method
