Mark,
I think the examples you want are in the documenatation for CGI.pm,
particular the sections on Cookies and headers. You probably want to end
with something like this:
$self->header_props(
-cookie=>$cookie
);
####
or you could set a cookie and redirect by doing this first:
$self->header_type('redirect');
It sounds like you are probably currently manually returning a set of
headers, and CGI::Application is automatically adding another set for
you.
