[cgiapp] CGI.pm cookie path bug?


I can't believe there could be a bug in CGI.pm, but I'm experiencing
some strange behavior with cookie paths.  My brother was trying to log
into my app using Safari, and he couldn't log in.  Other browsers are
fine.  So I figured there was a cookie path problem; when I created
the cookie I didn't set a path.  Once I gave it a path "/", he could
log in just fine.  My question is this.  According to the
documentation:

-path points to a partial URL on the current server. The cookie will
be returned to all URLs beginning with the specified path. If not
specified, it defaults to '/', which returns the cookie to all pages
at your site.

The path is supposed to be set to "/" by default, but apparently not.
What am I missing?
