It is late, I am tired of searching for this on the web! Please help a weary monk. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use CGI;


my $cgi = new CGI;

print
        $cgi->header( -cookie => new CGI::Cookie(
                      -name => 'ChocolateChip',
                      -value=> $cgi->param('name'),
              -expires => 'Thu, 26-Sep-2002 00:00:00 GMT',
                      -domain => 'students.cs.byu.edu',
                      -path => '/'

                   )

I would like to know how to set several values in the -value=> part of the cookie (this values come from a form). I would also like to know how to read those values once the cookie is set and have the ChocolateChip cookie to read from (look at the code). 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use CGI;


my $cgi = new CGI;

my %cookie = $cgi->cookie(-name => "ChocolateChip");

if(defined %cookie)
{
# read from the cookie ChocolateChip to have my document display user 
# preferences that were saved int the -value=> part of the cookie
}

-thanks
