Uh...try this?

common.cgi

#!/usr/bin/perl
####################################

use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Cookie;



sub write_cookie
    {

    my $c = new CGI::Cookie(-name => 'foo',
                    -value => ['bar','baz'],
                    -expires => '+3M'
                    );

    print header(-cookie=>[$c]);

    %cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;

##  This is very bad. You should check that $cookies{'ID'} exists
##  or your script will die when you run this code.
#    $id = $cookies{'ID'}->value;

##  You've already filled %cookies with the cookies. Why
##  do it again?
#    %cookies = parse CGI::Cookie($ENV{COOKIE});

    }
