I apologize for this difference, but the way IIS/ASP serialized cookies
was different than the way CGI, & I ported the ASP method over at first cut.
It may seem like overkill, but you might try to access the cookies via
a $Request object at runtime like this:
my $ASP = Apache::ASP->new($r);
my $Cookies = $ASP->Request->Cookies;
Just make sure to set $r->dir_config('NoState', 1) before doing this
so you do not init $Session & $Application objects during this invocation.
This method of out of Apache::ASP handler invocation is guaranteed to
work in future releases because I test for it at t/asp_object.t
I should really document this method better in the online docs.
There is overhead to creating ASP objects, but this is probably on
the order of 500-1000 per second & also gives you access to the
rest of the objects created.

Josh
