Aack! Once again sent to the posted instead of the group. Sigh...

Are you perchance using IIS? IIS has a known bug in version 3, 4, and 5 (yup, that's 3
versions!), where it ignores the Set-Cookie: header when combined with a Location:
header.
You can find a Microsoft statement regarding this at
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q176/1/13.ASP
In this case, I think your code may be at fault. Set the cookie when printing the
redirect header.
Here's one way to set a cookie with a redirect header:
#!C:\perl\bin\perl.exe
use CGI;
my $cgi = CGI->new;
my @cookieOut;
push @cookieOut, ($cgi->cookie( -name => 'id',
-value => "something",
-expires => '+7d',
-path => '/'));
print $cgi->redirect( -cookie => \@cookieOut,
-location => 'http://www.somehost.com' );
