You just need to monkey with the 'Cookie:' and 'Set-Cookie:' headers.
If you are using the 'persistent_script_handler', then the request
object is passed back to your module's main() function.

You can access the request headers using 'request.get_header()'
and you can set reply headers like this: request['Set-Cookie'] = "xxx"

Here's a starting reference:
