a simple question for those with a keener mind or eye than i...

why don't any of my browsers receive a cookie from the following? 

...."business logic"....
        my $cookie = get_session_cookie();
        print $cgi->header(
            #-Refresh => "3; $PAGE_AFTER_LOGON",
            -type => 'text/html',
            -cookie => $cookie
        );
.... remainder of page ....

sub get_session_cookie
{
    return unless $SessionID;

    my $cookie = $cgi->cookie(
        -name       =>  'session_id',
        -value      =>  $SessionID,
        -path       =>  '/',
        -expires    =>  '+4h',
        -domain     =>  '.some.domain',
    );
    warn "created session cookie: $cookie";

    return $cookie;
}

the session cookie when printed in the logs looks like:
session_id=461a3a75dd; domain=.some.domain; path=/; expires=Mon, 12-Mar-2001 06:42:29 GMT

any ideas? my browsers ( netscape 4.7, linux; konqueror from kde2.1) are both set up to report and accept cookies...

this is getting really frustrating...

thanks, d_i_r_t_y
