Out of interest, why do you append .pl to your locations?  Surely
"store", or just "s", would look cleaner than "store.pl".

Secondly, you're using the following:

    Catalog       mystore /home/ecommerce/catalogs/mystore www.mystore.com/store.pl
    Catalog       mystore alias  www.mystore.com:443/store.pl
    Catalog       mystore alias  mystore.com/store.pl
    Catalog       mystore alias  mystore.com:443/store.pl

which you could clean up as follows:

    Catalog mystore directory /home/ecommerce/catalogs/mystore
    Catalog mystore script    www.mystore.com/store.pl
    Catalog mystore alias     www.mystore.com:443/store.pl

or as follows:

    Catalog mystore /home/ecommerce/catalogs/mystore www.mystore.com/store.pl www.mystore.com:443/store.pl

You don't really need the extra mystore.com aliases;  Simply set up a
permanent Apache redirection in a separate mystore.com VirtualHost block.
If you really want to keep the extra aliases then you will need to use
the CookieDomain directive in catalog.cfg.  I assume that you have set
this up already.
