If you're determined to do this on your own, it's going to be something like this:
if ($usr eq 'admin' && $pwd eq 'admin') {
$cookie = ...;
#inside content
print "Content-Type: text/html\r\n";
print "Set-Cookie: login="$cookie"\r\n\r\n";
...
}
The client will send a Cookie header on subsequent requests. You have a lot of choices about what exactly to put in $cookie. You might use something like this:
my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new(-key=>$secret_key, -cipher => 'Rijndael')
+;
my $cookie = MIME::Base64::encode_base64($cipher->encrypt("$usr:$pwd")
+, '');
..assuming the user name doesn't include colons.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
