Hi,

i have a perl app that behaves strange. it happens when i try to login and then redirect to the front page upon success.
the problem is that the cookie is somehow lost. strange thing is that it works for firefox but not IE.

code is simple as: 

           my $cookie = $q->cookie(
                -name    => 'auth_tkt',
                -value   => $tkt,
                -expires => '+1h',
            );
           $q->redirect( -uri => $uri, -cookie => $cookie );
