This gets discussed on the mod_perl list about once a month. You may
need to change the order of the directives in the headers. Even then,
it won't work in all browsers. Using a meta-redirect in the resulting
web page will work, but of course that won't work for all browsers
either. Better yet, just pass the cookie information to the
following page and have it set the information.
P.S. Please don't send messages in HTML format. You may like your
text in Arial size 2, but lots of other people may not ("look ma,
itsy, bitsy font"). And they are the ones who have to read it to
reply.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
