Consider the following code. It seems that the internal_redirect prevents the cookie from being uploaded to the browser. How can I ensure that the cookie is sent to the browser before the redirect? 
<%args>
    $uname  => 'x'  
    $passwd => 'x'
    $url    
</%args>

<%perl>

use warnings;
use strict; 
use lib "/var/www/itiv/modules";
use Mapps::Session;
use Mapps::Auth;

##########################
# try to authenticate
##########################
my ($auth, $uid) = Mapps::Auth::auth($uname, $passwd);

if ($auth == 1){
    my $s = Mapps::Session->new();
    my $sid = $s->new_session($uid);
    #my $sid = $s->sid();

    # set cookie
    Apache::Cookie->new( $r,
        name => 'session',
        value => $sid,
        path => '/', 
        expires => '30m',
    )->bake;

    $r->internal_redirect($url);
    $m->auto_send_headers(0);
    $m->clear_buffer;
    $m->abort;

# else no auth 
}else{
    $r->internal_redirect("/login.html?msg=Wrong%20username%20or%20pas
+sword");
    $m->auto_send_headers(0);
    $m->clear_buffer;
    $m->abort;
}
</%perl>
