A couple of things:

Your code should start like this
```
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use CGI;
[download]
```
Look at perldoc strict, perldoc CGI and perldoc perlsec for the relevant documentation.
You cannot trust cookies. Anyone can fake "User" = "OK".
Do not call subroutines as &subroutine; if you don't want to supply arguments; use subroutine(); instead, or it will bite you some time in the future.
Documentation on this can be found in perldoc perlsub
That code looks like you need to read a good Perl book. I recommend "Programming Perl, 3rd edition" by Larry Wall & others.
