There's more than one way to this this of course, but here are a few:

1. Within CGI.pm

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;

my $cgi = CGI->new;
my $cookie = $cgi->cookie(-name => 'test', -value => 'testval', -expir
+es => "+2h");
print $cgi->redirect(
             -location => 'http://perlmonks.com',
             -cookie => $cookie
            );

2. Generate redirect with CGI, and scrape cookies from the session object's proposed header
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;

# Define the session object however you were before, 
# I can't emulate it as you didn't say what 
# class was being used

use Something;
my $session = Something->new();

# Get the header that the session object wants to output
my $session_header = $session->header();

# Filter out everything other than Set-Cookie headers
$session_header = join("\n", grep /^Set-Cookie/, split("\n", $session_
+header));

#output the Set-Cookie headers
if ($session_header) {
    print $session_header . "\n";
}


#output the headers that CGI generates
my $cgi = CGI->new;
print $cgi->redirect('http://perlmonks.com');

#1 would be my preferred solution.
#2 is a bit too hackish for my tastes, and any developer who inherits the project will likely hurt you.
