I've been using CGI::Application for some programs recently and was wondering if there was a simple way to set a cookie and redirect at the same time.

I tried the following code in a run-mode; it redirects, but it doesn't seem to set the cookie...

$self->header_type('redirect');
$self->header_props(
    -cookie=>
        $q->cookie(
            -name=>$account,
            -value=>$new_session_id
        )
    , -uri=>"http://x.com/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?mode=admin&account=$accoun
+t"
);

I'm currently using the following code, but would rather not resort to using HTML...

$self->header_props(
    -cookie=>
        $q->cookie(
            -name=>$account,
            -value=>$new_session_id
        )
);
my $output = $q->start_html(
    -head=>$q->meta({-http_equiv=>'Refresh',-content=>"0; URL=http://x
+.com/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?mode=admin&account=$account"})
);
$output .= $q->a({-href=>"http://x.com/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?mode=admin&ac
+count=$account"},"Proceed to admin >>");
$output .= $q->end_html();
return $output;
