The site I found that taught me is: http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/
It covers cookie creation and removal (perl and other languages) and has other information about cookies.

To save you some time, here are the basics:
Setting a cookie: 

print "Content-type: text/html\n";
print "Set-Cookie: foo=bar; path=/; expires=Mon, 01-Jan-2001 00:00:00 
+GMT\n\n";

[download]
Reading a cookie: 
@nvpairs=split(/; /, $ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'});
foreach $pair (@nvpairs) {
   ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
}

[download]

Use a read in cookie:
$cookie{$name} = $value;

[download]

Nowadays I use the CGI.pm module though. Much easier.
(Although I have run into a case where CGI.pm didn't work the way I needed it to.)
