I'm a big fan of going to the source on matters like this :-). A really nice way of debugging cookie-related problems is by looking at your browser's "Page information" or "Site information" dialog box (in Opera, it's called "Edit Site Preferences", and is in the menu you get if you right click on a page). This dialog box will show you a list of all the cookies your browser has, including when they expire, the path and domain they apply to, and all kinds of other information. You could check to see if there is any reason that cookie might not apply or be sent to the HTML page from there. Also: How do you get the session id to the browser? Do you use `$session->header()` or `CGI::header` or `CGI::Cookie` in your code anywhere? If you do, the actual cookie settings you use there might also be helpful in debugging your problem.

Another handy tool is the Live HTTP Headers Firefox Extension. This shows the HTTP headers as they are sent and received.	[reply]

Check out the way CGI::Application::Plugin::Session uses CGI::Session I ended up using the logic it uses and I have not had any problems	[reply]

Actually I am use CAP::Session, and it works fine so long as I display pages via perl script. If I ask for a static page, like HTML, for some reason the cookie is not sent so the browser removes it. It is probably my ignorance of how cookies are supposed to work...	[reply]

$session->expire('+1M'); # expire after a month and so on.	[reply]

It's tricky to know if you are missing a parameter or using another incorrectly without some code! It would be helpful if you would post some cookie setting/getting snippets, if the suggestions provided by others do not lead to your solving the problem.	[reply]

How about setting Session id to cookies of a page, which belongs to header of HTML.	[reply]
