Sorry to dig this one out of the past, but I'm trying to put together a little site under Dreamhost using CGI/FastCGI and having some fun. Ran into this problem when setting 2 or more cookies and this fix resolved that issue nicely until I followed the cookies with a redirect. Doing this reverted to the original problem so I went searching the CGI.pm module and discovered that this same fix needed to be applied to the "sub redirect" method as well. Now its working like a champ and I wanted to pass this info on as this issue still remains unfixed as of CGI version 3.41. So if you have cookie funny business and are running under CGIhandler you may wish to apply this fix.
In a nutshell, 'SET-COOKIE' needs to be added to the rearrange() argument list within the array reference that has ['COOKIE', 'COOKIES'] for the sub(s) 'header' and 'redirect'.
