Cannot fetch cookie in PerlTranshandler?

[Au Yeong Wing Yau]

I need a customized session/cookie management system that can do
redirection, so I implemented one using PerlTranshandler. When I tested
it on a Linux box for prototyping, the following works well:

sub handler
{
        ...
        my $q = new CGI;
        my $id = $q->cookie(-name=>"myCookie");
        ...
        (do checking, redirect to different locations based on
        different criteria)
        ...
        (direct to dummy.pl if cookie not found)
        ...
}

But when I moved this to the production server running SunOS, the
handler is unable to fetch any cookie at all. I have verified that the
handler is indeed executed, but no cookies are fetched. However I can
fetch the cookies in dummy.pl without any problems.


I will like to know if this is a problem with the production server, or
we are not supposed to fetch cookies in PerlTranshandler at all. The
production server is not under my administration, so I'll need
confirmation/information before bringing up the matter to the
administrator.


The production server(SunOS) and my prototype server(Linux) runs the
same configuration:
Apache 2.0.49
mod_perl 1.99_14
Perl 5.8



Thanks in advance,
Sincerely,
Au
