I dived into CGI.pm, and I found what probably the problem is.
When one calls CGI->cookie(), CGI will create a default query object,
stored in the package global $CGI::Q, and in CGI::cookie(), it does
some caching for performance issues. That seems to make things screwed up.
It follows that all mod_perl scripts are sharing the same $CGI::Q, if
they `use CGI qw(:standard)' to import the methods.
