Hi, Perrin.  Thanks for your response.

Well, I don't mind editing the headers, but I'd rather use standardized 
API calls (i.e. through Apache2::Cookie and friends) so that I don't 
have to worry about what's going on under the hood, updating my code for 
Apache2 changes, and so forth.

I'm trying to work out a way to not have to rely on undoing cookies, but 
I haven't had any luck so far.  It's for a complicated authentication 
system.

I'm of the same opinion.  FWIW, the Apache2::Cookie module seems to 
support it [0].
