[dancer-users] Add a cookie and redirect

No, unfortunately not -- I'm using an external authentication server and
this is the method that it uses to return the user to wherever they were
before logging in. :-\

Thanks for the tip -- the problem seems to be in testing the
existence/value of the cookie. For unknown reasons, HTTP::Cookies doesn't
seem to be parsing the cookie, even though it seems to be present in the
HTTP::Headers object.
