Oh wise monks!

i'm sorry to trouble you with this one, but i've run out of ideas. i have a login script, based on Merlyn's excellent suggestions, that was working great until a couple of months ago, when all of my users on IE were suddenly unable to log on. i figured it might be a privacy issue, and i set up a privacy policy that now passes the w3 privacy validator.

but, IE still won't set the cookies to let me in.

you can try this at:

http://tikvatisrael.org/memberarea/login/

and use "guest" and "guest" as username and password. it works in firefox, safari, opera, etc, but in IE, it just blinks, and goes back to the login page.

the code that is setting the cookies is: 

my $cookie = $query->cookie(
                       -name=>"SESSID", 
                       -value=> $sessid, 
                       -expires => "+1h", 
                       -path=> "/");
print $query->
  redirect(
    -uri=>"http://tikvatisrael.org/memberarea/taskmenu/",
    -cookie=> $cookie);

i'm using CGI.pm, but not using CGI::Cookies. could that be the simple answer??
