Catalyst::Plugin::Session provides a "delete_session" method

To ask a browser to forget a cookie, the expiry date must be specified
in the past.  Try setting expires to time()-86400.

If you continue to have problems, use Firebug
(http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1843)  to view the http
headers and see the actual cookie headers received by the browser and
post those here as they are received by the browser.
