Cannot fetch cookie in PerlTranshandler?

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

Whoops, found out the problem. The perl CGI modules on the production
server were outdated version 2.81. Updating the CGI module solved the
problem.
