    IIS versions 3, 4, and 5 have a bug that causes them to ignore the cookie header on a redirect. You'll need to use a non-parsed header (NPH) script or find an alternative.

    print $query->redirect( -uri => 'http://www.perlmonks.org/', -cookie => $cookie, -nph => 1 );

    If I recall correctly, the way to get IIS to recognize the script as NPH is to prepend 'nph-' (without the quotes) to the script name. In other words, 'myscript.cgi' becomes 'nph-myscript.cgi'.

      I am having a similiar problem with this but I am using apache. I will redirect but not have the cookie be set.

      My problem is here CGI and Redirect/URI/Location.
