I have code that looks something like this:

sub isValid{
    my $Cookie = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>'login', -value=>1, -expires =
+>'+2m');
    print header(-cookie=>$Cookie),start_html,
        a({-href=>'http://www.mysite.com/devel',-target=>'_top'},div({
+-align=>'center'},"Activate Session")),
        end_html;
    exit;

}

Problem is that it only seems to work on a few browsers. It succeeded on IE5 as well as mozilla 1.0(linux) and Netscape 6.2(windows). On IE6, and Konqueror, it appears that the cookie wasn't passed(i have a php script that gives different output if the cookie is not found, and i double checked the folder my cookies go into). Is there a better way to set cookies that I have missed? Any suggestions on a better way to set up session data that can be read by cgi and php applications would also be appreciated.
