CGI.pm changelog has

  4.03 2014-07-02
  
      [ SPEC / BUG FIXES ]
  [...]
      - CGI::Cookie now correctly supports the -max-age argument, previously
        if this was passed the value of the -expires argument would be used
        meaning there was no way to supply *only* this argument (RT #50576)

However, CGI.pm is being removed from the Perl core after 5.20, which only has
3.65. So this is not going to be fixed in the 'perl' package. I'm reassigning
it to the separate libcgi-pm-perl package.
