If cookie data is all you're looking for, you can use something like this - I pulled this from a package I wrote for something or another. This is by no means comprehensive, but I dont require anything more complicated than this. 
sub proc_cookies {
  my $self = shift;

  my $raw_dough = $ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'};
  $raw_dough =~ s/; /=/gi;

  $self->{COOKIES} = {};
  %{$self->{COOKIES}} = split(/=/,$raw_dough);
  $self->{PROCESSED} = 1;
  return 1;
}

I tend to also favor a slightly modified version of the old cgi-lib, in favor of CGI.pm, but I still use the latter for dealing with file input.

I think that sometimes, its just easier, especially if your need is very limited, to sort of pull together your own subroutines to handle stuff.

Hope this helps,
