I think we're going to need a bit more information. If this was my code I would telnet into the web server and see what information is being sent back in response to a GET request. The "Set-Cookie" lines should be present. The question then becomes, what is in those lines. Also, in the above example you say that return_cookies returns: 

SET per_page=12; path=/; expires=1h keyword_not=cat; path=/; expires=1
+h keyword_or=tree; path=/; expires=1h keyword_combined=tree%20NOT%20c
+at; path=/; expires=1h

Is this a string it's returning? Or an array of strings? It would be really helpful if you could provide a Data::Dumper output of the return_cookies function. I don't belive the literal SET should be present in the cookie output.

Are you using the CGI::Cookie module to handle your cookies, or did you roll your own?
