I've spent the better part of three days figuring out why our dev server, with exactly the same Perl installation and IIS configuration (or so the admins tell me), can pass a cookie to my 5.50 IE, but our production system couldn't.

The final solution was that if I removed my spec of the domain, all was well in production. So, how might that be? Is this likely an IIS problem, as opposed to the module? I sort of lean this direction since everything appears to work fine on the dev server, but both are running IIS 4.0 on NT4.0 SP6a. Patches are applied on both machines equally. Ain't M$ grand?

Writer takes no responsibility for ranting as a result of this content.
