Ok, Baz

I did some reviewing on how to do this in CGI, since I haven't done anything with CGI for a while, and came up with *possibly* a solution to your problem. Note: I am not sure if it is exactly what you want it to do, but at least it finds the cookie, and prints its value :).

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI;

my $query = new CGI;

my $cookie_out = $query->cookie(
       -name=>"MY_NAME",
       -value=>"Barry Griffin",
       -expires=>'+24h',
       -path=>'/cgi-bin/',
       -domain=>'bladx.perlmonk.org',
       -secure=>0
);


print $query->header(-cookie=>$cookie_out);
print $query->start_html("Cookie Test");

# DEBUG TO SCREEN

my $rcvd_cookies = $ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'};
my @cookies = split /;/, $rcvd_cookies;
foreach my $cookie (@cookies)
{
  print $cookie,"\n";
}

print $query->end_html;

Hopefully this helps with your cookies fun. And a little note, I know that you are still somewhat new to asking question at pm.org, and just to let you know, you may want to make shorter, more descriptive titles :) ... just a thought, keep on the Perl path though!

Also, if you would like to see where I tested this script, I did it at: here. I don't think Tripod is the best server, I still suggest talking to jcwren about getting a free testing account at perlmonk.org!
