The call returns (in opera) with the following values set:
HTTP_COOKIE --> User-Name=todd
HTTP_COOKIE2 --> $Version=1

Live HTTP Headers (in Firefox) shows:
Set-Cookie: User-Name=todd; domain=localhost; path=/; expires=Wed, 08-Aug-2007 02:49:15 GMT Update: I tried using CGI::Simple::Cookie. This works, the only change noted is that the header includes "Cookie: " instead of "Set-Cookie: ". I will investigate this further.
