what exactly are you trying to do, if you cut out
use CGI; you wont be able to read or write a cookie using
$q->cookie("wolves"); so i guess i dont exactly understand what you are trying to do...but if you already set the cookie, which it seems you have, a little script like
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
use strict;
print "Content-type:text/html\n\n";
my $q = new CGI;
my $cookie_in = $q->cookie('wolves');
print $cookie_in;
should read the cookie and print it to the page
