I do have $session object passed to HTML::Template as mentioned on CGI::Session tutorial. without
editing that part, however, I tried my code again and session data is suddently all flushed
without calling flush().

I found out why the cookie doesn't sent during redirect. You see, i was using header_props for
redirect which overrides the cookie header set in CPA::Session early on. that means header_props
can't be used with CPA::Session and SEND_COOKIE is on. maybe this should be mentioned in
CPA::Session doc? 

yes, I was using livehttpheader. now i find i need something to edit the cookie easily to test my
script. the firefox extention "Add & Edit Cookies" looks promising, going to give it a go.
