In the documentation, they have the following:

$cookie = new CGI::Cookie(-name=>'CGISESSID', -value=>$session->id);
print $cgi->header(-cookie=>$cookie);
[download]

Of course you can just use cookie(-name... and all will be well. The syntax you used produces a cookie as such:

CGISESSID=whatever-it-is; path = /
[download]

Which has no expiration and as such expires immediately. I personally don't like using print $session->header since you can only use one cookie and it specifies the type. Hope this helps.
