Another way that isn't mentioned already: You can only send the CGI header *once*, so that call to header() will be weird. But all you need to do is create an array of cookies and then call header once after the loop; eg replace that last line of the loop with push @cookies, $cookie;, then call print $query->header(-cookie=>@cookies); (note: untested, may have to use a reference to @cookies).

But as other have send, there's a practical limit to cookies. It's better to only send one piece of data across and use a server at your end to extract all the data that you are trying to send now. So you'd create a unique key, write to some database all the info you're trying to save, then send off the cookie with just that key value. Upon getting back that key value by a cookie, it's a lot easier to get that data.
