I'm having a problem where a few users on my web application cannot login because their cookie isn't being stored. I'm using the following code: 
my $sessionidCookie = $cgi->cookie(
-name => 'sessionid',
-value => $sessionid,
-expires => '+5h');
        
print $cgi->redirect(-cookie => $sessionidCookie,-uri => './?a=');

and to retrieve: 
my $sessionid = $cgi->cookie("sessionid");

It works on my browser and most others, but there are a select few that the cookies don't get saved. I made sure their browsers are set to "medium" privacy (just as mine and many other working computers are). I also had them go to a cookie testing website, which said that cookies where enabled. Why would a select few users not be able to store cookies on just my website? I had them test on IE Chrome and Firefox all with the exact same results. I've tried just about everything, but I'm hoping I'm just overlooking some new standard or something.
