Many thanks Hari.

Turns I was having an "acme.com" vs. "www.acme.com"
cookie descrepancy, and I didn't notice the obvious
until you reminded me. 

I am glad it wasn't a mod_perl or apache oddity!

Curious:  does scheme matter?  That is,
can a cookie set by http://acme.com be read by
https://acme.com, and can a cookie set by
https://acme.com be read by http://acme.com?
