UpdateWarrenBullockIII, I apologise. I (eventually) saw your comment in the CB and revisited your question and your right, I hadn't read all of your post.

I would have apologised in the CB, but my link is subject to a extreme lag at the moment.

End update The rest of this post is wrong/redundant.

Don't bother...

The immediate problem is caused by 

$cook = $ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'};
@cookies = split /;/, $cook;
foreach $new (@cookies){
    print "Welcome back:" . $new;
}
print "</PRE>\n";

The $ENV('HTTP_COOKIE'); is returning something like: 'user=john;something=something;another=more;'

So, $new will be xxxx=yyyy inside the loop.

adding a line 

$new =~ s/^user=(.*)/$1)/;

Would fix the immediate problem, but the bigger problem is mixing the use of cgi->cookie and messing with HTTP_COOKIE. Use one or the other (prefereably CGI and drop HTTP_COOKIE).
