I think those docs may be a little out of date. The send_cookie
mechanism in CAP::Session checks with CGI::Session to find out what
the cookie name is, and uses that. So you do not need to use
COOKIE_PARAMS => { -name => 'MYCOOKIENAME' }.
All you really need to do is call:
CGI::Session->name('MYCOOKIENAME')
And you can just put that in the global scope of your program (right
after you load CAP::Session if you like)
Just remember that if you are using mod_perl or another persistent
environment that this will change the cookie name for all applications
that run under the perl interpreter (CGI::Session keeps the name as a
global variable).
Cheers,
