I'm attempting to set multiple cookies using CGI::Application, this is running under mod_perl.

sub do_login {
  my $self = shift ;
  my $q = $self->query ;
  my $c1 = $q->cookie(-name=>'userID',
                      -value=>'test123',
                      );

  my $c2 = $q->cookie(-name=>'sessionID',
                      -value=>'blahblahblah',
                     );

  $self->header_type('header');
  $self->header_props(-type=>'text/plain',
                      -cookie=> [$c1,$c2],
                     );
}

The problem is that only the last cookie in the array (in this case $c2) gets set. If I swap them to:

  $self->header_props(-type=>'text/plain',
                      -cookie=> [$c2,$c1],
                     );

Then only $c1 is set. Finally :

  $self->header_props(-type=>'text/plain',
                      -cookie=> [$c2,$c1,$c2],
                     );

[download]

Sets only $c2.

header_props() returns a hash with the attributes set. I've checked this and everything _seems_ to be fine. However if I pass this to the header() method from CGI, I get an '', which I think indicates something is wrong:(

The same script under 'traditional' cgi (no mod_perl) works fine

Any help would be much appricated, as I'm sure its something really simple I've missed
