I do know that cooke of "name" has not been set on the computer yet. Would this be causing it?
Yes.
And if so how would I properly check to see if the cookie preexists or not.
If it exists then $Cookie{'Name'} would contain a cookie object, hence, a true value when tested in boolean context. So an easy fix is
if ($Cookie{'Name'}) { @LoginInfo = $Cookie{'Name'}->value; }
If @LoginInfo may contain some data before you call this, it's best to wipe it, either first or in an else block.

p.s. In perl mids, mixed case for variable names is considered poor style. But it'll still work, of course.
