Your redirect is wrong. Always test the real output from the command line or with curl or something if your script isn’t behaving–

perl -MCGI=:all -e 'print redirect("http://some/full/uri", cookie(-nam
+e => "x", -value => "y" ))'
Status: 302 Found
Window-Target: x=y; path=/
Location: http://some/full/uri

This—Re: CGI::Application redirect loses cookie—shows redirect with cookie with CGI.

Couple other points–

• Redirect URIs RFC:MUST be absolute. Most browsers do the right thing on relative ones but it’s still wrong.
• No customer/user/db specific information should ever, ever, ever be in a cookie. Ever. Not even encrypted, perhaps a signed hash but that’s a different kettle of clams: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Session_Management_Cheat_Sheet#Cookies.
