Well, a way of rolling your own is tweaking the HTTP header and insert the Set-Cookie statement. 
print "Content-type: text/html\n";
print "Set-Cookie: MyCookie=Something\n\n";

Basically, cookies are part of the HTTP header and have quite a few options... The code above sets a Session cookie (exists as long as the browser stays open). Expiring cookies need an extra expires option etc...
If you want the fancy stuff, stick to CGI.pm (it's installed by default).
