[EP-tech] set_lang on 3.4.3

[David R Newman]

Hi Mario,

This code relates to setting the correct attributes for the cookie 
EPrints uses to store the user's language preference.  This change was 
made to deal with the fact that FireFox was not going to continue to 
support the cookei for this in its current form.

I am sure this worked when I tested but looking at it now I can see a 
couple of problems with it.  Maybe this was down to a merge that went 
bad.  Unfortunately, /cgi/set_lang was not part of my automated build 
testing prior to release but I will be adding it when I next get a chance.

I have added a patch to the GitHub code that should fix the specific 
issue you reported:

However, to fix issue #118 you need to also make sure you have a recent 
version (I am on 4.51) of the CGI::Cookie Perl package installed, (i.e. 
most likely through installing using CPAN). Otherwise, this fix to 
set_lang will likely not do anything useful (but should not make 
anything worse), as what it is trying to do is probably not supported by 
the version of CGI::Cookie you have installed.

David Newman
