OWA_COOKIE anyone using it with Forms 6i?

Question

Help please!!!
I am trying to access cookie information from the browser within an Oracle Form (6i). Looking at the PL/SQL programming guide it gives a nice example.
I enter the following into my trigger of the form:
DECLARE
v_Cookie OWA_COOKIE.COOKIE;
BEGIN
v_Cookie := OWA_COOKIE.GET('UserID');
IF (v_Cookie.num_vals > 0) THEN
:CONTROL.USERNAME := v_Cookie.vals(1);
ELSE
:CONTROL.USERNAME := 'No Cookie Found';
END IF;
END;
When I compile the form it says the the 'identifier OWA_COOKIE.COOKIE must be declared'
I can see the package when I select * from ALL_OBJECTS and
my DBA's say that I have access to it.
Please help....!

Joe To run OWA packages in forms you need this before you call the procedure,
DECLARE
name_arr OWA.VC_ARR;
value_arr OWA.VC_ARR;
BEGIN
OWA.INIT_CGI_ENV(0, NAME_ARR, VALUE_ARR);
END;
BUT
I have been told by oracle that you cannot use OWA_COOKIE to set cookies within web Forms, tho they have as yet not given me an alternative to set cookies in a web form
