Have you tried the latest CGI.pm? The latest is CGI.pm-2.91. I suggest you try it out and report back.

I was hoping for a better explaination than just to try a newer version. It's odd (in my example) that the older version doesn't have this bug, yet the newer one does. The fact of the matter is that this version of CGI.pm is in the wild and ithe problem is being addressed to me in alarmingly higher frequencies each week.

but since CGI.pm is distributed CPAN, it doesn't matter.

It does matter, since the CGI.pm module is one of the most widely used modules out there. This makes it sensitive to changes.

I did find a changelog here, The only mention of cookie bugs fixed (or at all) is for version 2.29, the problem server is running 2.57.

The problem I'm facing is that this is for a freely distributed, Open Source program and asking people to either upgrade their Perl, CGI.pm, or,install and import from a different version of a CGI.pm is over many of the user's heads.
