After reviewing some of their code I do totally agree. I thought that I would post something that I found interesting. It seems like the non-perlish way to do the task.

sub GeneratePassword {
@digit = ("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "J", "K", "L", "M", 
+"N", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "Y", "Z", "a", "b", "c",
+ "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "j", "k", "m", "n", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t"
+, "u", "v", "w", "y", "z", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9");
srand(time);
$num1 = rand(@digit);
$num2 = rand(@digit); 
$num3 = rand(@digit);
$num4 = rand(@digit); 
$num5 = rand(@digit); 
$num6 = rand(@digit); 
$RandomPassword = ("$digit[$num1]" . "$digit[$num2]" . "$digit[$num3]"
+ . "$digit[$num4]" . "$digit[$num5]" . "$digit[$num6]");
return($RandomPassword); 
}

I also found how they are getting the cookies, which seems to be what I am going to do. I am going to just get the cookies and check the user to the assigned cookies information. Here is what they had to get the cookies.

sub get_cookie {
  local($chip, $val);
  foreach (split(/; /, $ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'})) {
        # split cookie at each ; (cookie format is name=value; name=va
+lue; etc...)
        # Convert plus to space (in case of encoding (not necessary, b
+ut recommended)
    s/\+/ /g;
        # Split into key and value.  
    ($chip, $val) = split(/=/,$_,2); # splits on the first =.
        # Convert %XX from hex numbers to alphanumeric
    $chip =~ s/%([A-Fa-f0-9]{2})/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
    $val =~ s/%([A-Fa-f0-9]{2})/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
        # Associate key and value
    #undef($cookie{$chip});
    next if (defined($cookie{$chip})); # \1 is the multiple separator
    #$cookie{$chip} .= "\1" if (defined($cookie{$chip})); # \1 is the 
+multiple separator
    $cookie{$chip} .= $val;
  }
} # end SR  NB - the other subroutines from this library [set-cookie, 
+split-cookie, delete-cookie] have not been included here.
