I been looking into this more since I've had some sleep :) From the CGI pod:

To create multiple cookies, give header() an array reference:
  print $query->header(-cookie=>[$cookie1,$cookie2]);

I've done this before to set mutliple cookies and its worked, so I assume that this part is ok.

Delving deeper into the code, it seems the reason why I'm getting a '' from the header() method is because of the following in CGI.pm:

if ($MOD_PERL and not $nph) {
        
  my $r = Apache->request;
  $r->send_cgi_header($header);
  return '';
}

[download]

If I print the header out as it appears just before the if , it contains both cookies as seen below

Status: 200 Ok
Set-Cookie: sessionID=blahblahblah; path=/
Set-Cookie: userID=test123; path=/
Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2002 02:31:59 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

If I telnet to the server the headers I receive are:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2002 03:17:15 GMT
Server: Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.23 (Mandrake Linux/4mdk) mod_ssl/2.8.7 OpenSSL/0.9.6c PHP/4.1.2
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Set-Cookie: userID=test123; path=/
X-Cache: MISS from quigon.nomis52.com
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

So my belief is that something must be going astray when send_cgi_header() is called.

This problem is driving me crazy.....
